英国伯明翰国际木工机械及家具材料展览会(Materials & Finishes Show / W Birmingham & Elements)是英国唯一最大型木材及石材加工机械与家具生产配件材料展览会,是石材与木工机械、零部件和材料专业贸易展,是石材制品、木制品和家具行业的一场领先的专业盛会。该展从1976年开始,两年一届,在伯明翰NEC展览中心举行,其影响力覆盖全国包括英格兰、苏格兰、韦尔斯、爱尔兰等,观众对象主要是实木家具、中纤板家具、板式家具、橱柜、衣柜、办公桌等生产商以及室内工程师、设计师等,由于一般英国买家都只观摩国内展会采购商品,极少跑到国外去采购,再是英国脱欧后,此展更是国外企业开拓英国市场的良机。
W展会有超过40年的历史,并仍在继续增长,并按照Woodmex和ASFI的成功经验作为展览的基础扩大更多的零部件供应商和材料参加展会,巩固了家具和木工行业,并邀请大家在这一领域拥有机会看到所有的产品和机械在一个屋檐下。现在独立一个家具板材展(Elements),让行业朝着组合家具业的快速发展。板材展是2016年推出一个全新的展,是英国唯一的组件展将展出一系列整理产品的KBB,家具生产和室内设计市场。代表将包括最新流水线工作和存储解决方案,表面的应用趋势、材料和技术,这些是具有影响力的制造商来自英国、欧洲设计和更远的地方。
本次活动是在巨大的木制产品尺寸范围工作的各种规模的厂商“必参与”的活动。在每两年一届的展会上体验到木工机械、部件和材料的最新强调的产品和工艺及现场演示。
随着英国经济的持续增长,制造业的不断壮大,与加速房屋建设方案,并为可持续的经济增长及木材料使用的增长,大部分的木材和建筑用木材的工作将在W展现场交易或洽谈预订。
W展包含了这个行业的发展,而不是仅仅通过增加参展商来到展会,同时公认和展示行业内的新人才和培训,通过它的教育重点促进下一代将采取行业向前发展的方向与目标。
