LIGNA


The LIGNA, previously known as Ligna Plus is an industrial trade fair for the woodworking industry. It takes place in uneven years on the Hanover fairground. It is run by Deutsche Messe AG and the Fachverband Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen section of VDMA e.V.

History

Until 1975, the Ligna was part of the yearly Hannover Messe. Due to space constraints, it was decided to establish the woodworking section as a separate fair. Since then, the Ligna fair takes place biannually.
