THE GATEWAY TO AFRICA’S TIMBER TRADE
Long established as the gateway to Africa’s timber trade, WoodEX for Africa 2025 will be the ultimate machinery, tools and supplies gathering in Africa. An event not to be missed, WoodEX for Africa will be held at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg from 18-20 June 2025, alongside the 4th edition of the Deck & Flooring Expo and co-located with Africa’s biggest construction expo, the Big 5 Construct Southern Africa, previously African Construction Expo.
A dynamic and lucrative platform in Africa for trade and industry to connect with specialised dealers, stay abreast of the latest industry trends and innovations, secure new business contacts and compare the best deals in the timber trade, WoodEX for Africa has grown robustly year on year since the inaugural event held in 2012. The event has increasingly enjoyed a strong African visitor profile, making up a substantial percentage of international trade visitors to the expo.
WoodEX for Africa 2023 was the biggest event to date, with almost double the number of brands and exhibitors on show compared to previous years. The event also showcased a notably more diverse offering and enjoyed unprecedented exposure to both visitors and exhibitors from close to 30 different countries. This was in part due to the inclusion of the inaugural edition of the Deck & Flooring Expo, which added significant value for exhibitors and visitors.
