LIGNA 2025 proved once again why it is the world’s leading trade fair for the woodworking and wood processing industries. The atmosphere on the Weinig Stand was dynamic, with a strong focus on smart, resource-efficient solutions and automated production technologies that meet the demands of an evolving market.

WEINIG, as a full‑range supplier, offered visitors an impressive panoramic view of its expansive portfolio of machinery, systems, and services. From individual workpiece processing to highly automated series production of solid wood and wood‑based materials, the WEINIG stand showcased innovations tailored for today’s manufacturing challenges. A particular highlight was the focus on resource optimization — featuring stand‑alone or fully networked machines combined with intelligent material handling and seamless automation. These advances enable manufacturers to optimize wood yield and boost productivity, making it possible to economically produce high‑quality products in flexible batch sizes despite the ongoing shortage of skilled workers.

WEINIG at LIGNA 2025: Strong Partnership, Smart Solutions

LIGNA 2025 also marked a major milestone for Essetre: for the first time since announcing their strategic partnership, Essetre and WEINIG exhibited side by side — and with great success. The combination of Italian innovation and German engineering excellence drew strong interest and sparked valuable conversations with industry professionals from around the world.

For the Australian market in particular, this partnership delivers a decisive advantage. Australian timber construction companies benefit from cutting‑edge machinery and a worry‑free, locally supported experience — delivered from one trusted source. A standout highlight was the debut of the new TECHNO SAW XS — a compact, high‑precision joinery machine designed specifically for the needs of the frame and truss industry. Its ability to efficiently process small workpieces makes it ideal for roof trusses, frame walls, and packaging components.

For Essetre, the partnership with WEINIG is more than a strategic alliance — it’s a shared commitment built on trust, common values, and a vision for shaping the future of timber construction.
