Sylva Wood 2018 will take place in Shanghai from June 25 to 27  

Sylva Wood is returning for its fourth edition to become the one-stop destination in bringing furniture and flooring manufacturers, as well as traders and importers together to exchange ideas and insights.

The countdown is on for the annual Sylva Wood show. Now in its fourth year, the only specialised wood materials show in Asia, with no machinery or finished products, has built a solid reputation in the region and set to be even greater.

Once again taking place in June, Sylva Wood remains the ideal place for industry players to meet while leveraging on the opportunity to tap into the Chinese market.

“We are overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response. Sylva Wood has expanded its footprint over the years, and in this fourth edition, we are looking at the interplay of big and small companies to bring the best in the industry to visitors,” said William Pang, director of Shanghai Pablo Exhibition.

The show continues to be endorsed by American Hardwood Export Council, American Softwoods, Canada Wood, French Timber and Softwood Export Council. This year, it has also received the support from Thai Timber Association, Malaysian Timber Council and National Hardwood Lumber Association.

Visitors can also lookout for the Russian Pavilion as it returns again for the second time.

“The show has been improving. It focuses on wood materials and is very useful for our members. We’ve got a pretty good

number of visitors visiting and they are professional timber trade people. The members are very happy so I believe this is a quality show that is valuable for us,” said John Chan, AHEC’s regional director.

Exploring China’s potential

According to RISI, a company specialising in providing information and data for the global forest products industry, China’s imports of softwood and hardwood logs have jumped by 42 per cent in the last five years, while imports of lumber soared by 81 per cent.

The country is the world’s largest importer of wood fibre, and largest exporter for plywood, flooring, wooden furniture and other related products. While rising labour costs and other factors have been potential drags on growth, 2017 still saw record-high imports of logs and lumber.

In addition, despite the central government’s move to aggressively reduce financial risk and pollution in the country, the wood content of China’s primary forest products imports will increase from an estimated 194 million cubic metres in 2015 to 254 million cubic metres by 2025, reported RISI.

The nation’s timber and forest products imports are expected to increase by 60 million cubic meters by 2025, and will eventually account for 12 to 13 per cent of global timber harvest.

As the only premier platform for the wood materials sector, visitors and exhibitors can expect opportunities to explore and enhance productivity and competitiveness at this dedicated business-to-business event.

The world-class show will take place in Shanghai from June 25 to 27 and a full programme of workshops and seminars will be held over the three days.
