Carola Lenkewitz, head of marketing and communications at Siempelkamp, has been named a new member of the LIGNA Exhibitor Advisory Board.

The LIGNA Exhibitor Advisory Board is instrumental in the continuous development of LIGNA, the international trade show for the wood-based materials industry. As part of the board, Lenkewitz will contribute her specialty on wood-based panel industry and live communication to the trade show.

“The VDMA and Deutsche Messe, as organisers of LIGNA, are delighted to welcome Carola Lenkewitz and her expertise as valuable reinforcements to the advisory board. The cooperation with Siempelkamp that has existed since 1975, the beginning of LIGNA, will thus be successfully continued on this board,” said Stephanie Wagner, head of LIGNA.

“Becoming part of this significant body is both a great compliment and a responsibility for me,” added Carola Lenkewitz, who has further developed Siempelkamp’s presence at LIGNA since 2019.

“To rethink LIGNA, to strengthen its role and to launch new trends for all participants is something I gladly accept as a member of the advisory board, and I look forward to exchanging ideas with the other members.”

According to a press release from Siempelkamp, the advisory board will meet in Hanover, Germany, on 6 Oct 2022 for this exchange of ideas, and prepare for the launch of LIGNA, which will be held from 15-19 May 2023 in the same city.
