Jakob Hirsmark will become the new manager of Elmia’s forestry fairs. They include the world’s biggest international forestry fair, Elmia Wood, which is held every fourth year in the forests south of Jönköping, Sweden. Jakob Hirsmark will take up his new post in February.
The Swedish market for forest machines is shrinking. That’s the conclusion of a review of the past six years’ registrations of forwarders. The average reduction is 16 percent. The manufacturers can see several reasons and the trend also applies to harvesters.
Raw materials and waste products from the forest are predicted to become very important to tomorrow’s climate-smart manufacturing. Green carbon fibre, bioplastics, synthetic petrol and tech-talking packaging are some of the futuristic products to be showcased at International Wood Biorefining Week in Stockholm 24 - 26 of May next year.
For 40 years Elmia Subcontractor has been a marketplace host, shining the spotlight on trends and creating value for the manufacturing industry. Future trends and positive signs for the industry through new business deals were also at the heart of this year’s fair.
Nine companies and organisations are jointly showcasing Swedish innovation power at the global Agritechnica fair on 8-14 November. Elmia is one of them and the joint initiative goes under the name Swedish Innovation Power. The message is that Sweden is a highly fertile breeding-ground for green innovations, one that has created many export successes over the years
Four kilos of cast brass is a fair weight for an award. But the honour and prestige of winning a Future Transport Award are even weightier. Stenpiren Travel Centre in Gothenburg, Real Rail and NCC ViaSafe each won a category when the award was presented at Elmia Future Transport in Jönköping, Sweden.
Discussions about high-speed trains, plans for future road investments and matchmaking between companies boosted Sweden’s leading transport and infrastructure fairs: Elmia Future Transport, Elmia Nordic Rail and Elmia Nordic Road. For three days Swedish and Nordic transport issues were in focus in Jönköping, and a far higher proportion of international stakeholders were in attendance.

Professional forestry in Romania has gained a longed-for meeting place and the exhibitors are thrilled with the first edition of the Forest Romania forestry fair in Transylvania. The exhibitors praised the trade fair’s concept of focusing exclusively on the professional primary forest industry.

New-generation forest owners are managing their own forests and aiming for more than just a return on their investment. At least as important to them is to care for their forests in a long-term, environmentally suitable way. That was clear among both the visitors and exhibitors at this year’s SkogsElmia.
Expertise, new products and innovative strength – they’re all assembled in the same place as SkogsElmia opens its gates in the forest south of Jönköping from 4 to 6 June. World premieres at this year’s fair include a nimble hybrid forwarder and interactive spectacles that enable forest owners to see their forests in a totally new way.
Adforum, the world-leading organiser of trade fairs for the pulp and paper industry, and Elmia, whose fairs include the world's leading bioenergy fair, have agreed to combine their fairs to create a strong and timely meeting place in the forest industry. Starting in 2016 the previous forest industry and bioenergy fairs will form part of International Wood Biorefining Week, 24-26 May in Stockholm.
Elmia Polymer has once again confirmed its position as Scandinavia’s largest trade fair focusing exclusively on the plastics and rubber industry. The fair brings together the entire sector and is an important arena for both making contacts and developing collaborations, with many deals being agreed directly on the exhibition floor.
New natural materials, climate-smart packaging and a carbon fibre car that runs on solar energy. Elmia Polymer, Scandinavia’s biggest dedicated fair for the plastics and rubber industry, presents all the latest innovations and trends. Inspiration and innovation join forces to create new opportunities and business deals.
More and more people in the Nordic countries are buying plants and trees from garden centres and decorating their conservatories in various ways. At Elmia Garden, the trade fair for everyone working with plant nurseries, garden centres and garden products, the strong and consistent growth trend was obvious.
