Smart Balance of Manufacturing × End-to-End Upgrade × Precision Productivity
Pre-registration Is Now Open for Free Admission

China International Furniture Machinery & Woodworking Machinery Fair (Shanghai) (WMF 2025), Asia’s leading expo for furniture manufacturing and woodworking machinery, will be held from 9–12 September 2025 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC), Shanghai, China. The event will be co-located with CIFF (China International Furniture Fair) Shanghai and the Upholstery Tech exhibition, presenting the annual industry event, Furniture Tech Week. This integrated platform bridges design, materials, equipment, and complete production systems, offering end-to-end solutions for furniture manufacturers—from inspiration to delivery.

As one of Asia’s most established woodworking machinery trade shows, WMF has driven technological innovation and smart upgrades in the industry since its inception in 1986. In 2025, the show will spotlight “Smart Balance of Manufacturing”, addressing the industry’s challenge of balancing flexibility, speed, cost-efficiency, and sustainability, brought by the current trend towards “light high-end customization”.

Tackling Pain Points – Key Solutions for Future Factories

WMF 2025 addresses six critical industry pain points—high labor costs, long lead times, customization hurdles, material waste, inconsistent quality, and complex management—by presenting comprehensive solutions powered by smart production, flexible manufacturing, integrated line services, and data-driven insights. These innovations will help businesses achieve higher efficiency, stability, and competitiveness.

Exhibition Highlights at a Glance

Integrated Smart Production Line Demonstrations: Discover end-to-end technologies—from primary wood processing, panel systems, and edge-banding, to intelligent logistics, and surface finishing. Visitors will experience flexible, high-efficiency production solutions, including “non-stop panel flow” and “real-time visualization” manufacturing—delivering both cost savings and precision.

Live Demos by Industry Leaders: Global and domestic brands, including HOMAG, KDT, CAELUS, WDMAX, NANXING, HUAHUA, EXCITECH, SANDAR, CHAOLUN, BIESSE, SCM, BACCI, YUETONG, V-HOLD, QINGCHENG, QIANCHUAN, MOTIMAC, GIANTWAY, and PURETE, will showcase:

．Whole-home customization lines
．Seamless laser/PUR/EVA edge banding
．CNC machining, automated loading/unloading
．5-axis technology, intelligent drilling, and sorting/packaging systems

These technologies empower factories to overcome small-batch, multi-variety production challenges while enabling smart scheduling and traceability.

"Wood Walk": Curated Routes for Industry Solutions

“Wood Walk” is a self-guided themed route designed to help visitors navigate key solutions across the furniture manufacturing process. Each route focuses on specific production pain points—connecting equipment, materials, and applications with real-world factory needs. Whether upgrading solid wood joinery or exploring high-end surface finishing, let “Wood Walk” be your compass to smarter sourcing.

For instance, the Solid Wood Route will highlight smart upgrades in five key stages:

1. Material Preparation – AI vision-based sorting
2. Panel Joining – Finger-jointing & high-frequency hot pressing
3. Structural Processing – Five-axis mortise-tenon shaping
4. Sanding – Intelligent grinding
5. Coating – Soft-touch spray coating

This enables companies to achieve high-quality, efficient, and low-defect solid wood production.
