Returning for its second edition from 16–18 Sep, the event will feature international exhibitors, educational forums and hands-on workshops, while strengthening links across the woodworking, furniture and construction sectors.
The Thailand International Woodworking & Furniture Exhibition (TIWF) 2026 will return from 16 to 18 Sep at the IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Centre in Bangkok, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, designers and industry professionals from across Thailand and the ASEAN region.
Organised by IMPACT Exhibition Management and Germany’s IEC Messevertriebs, the exhibition will showcase the latest woodworking machinery, manufacturing technologies, materials, fittings and production solutions, while providing opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange and business partnerships.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition in 2024, TIWF 2026 aims to strengthen the competitiveness of the regional woodworking and furniture industries through greater international participation and a broader exhibition programme.
The 2024 exhibition attracted more than 6,200 trade visitors from 49 countries, featured 214 exhibitors and brands from 20 countries, and hosted more than 340 business matching meetings.
International participation
The exhibition has secured support from organisations and companies across the global woodworking sector, including the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), which will return as platinum sponsor.
“For AHEC, TIWF represents a critical commercial and technological platform in the ASEAN region, perfectly aligning with our objective to effectively promote understanding of American hardwood as a sustainable material to architects and manufacturers,” said Tripp Pryor, international programme manager of AHEC.
“A major highlight in Bangkok this year is the Thailand premiere of our film, Forested Future, screening at Alliance Française on the evening of 17 Sep,” Pryor added. “It reflects our shared commitment to sustainable forest stewardship and our connection to the natural world. It’s a must-see for anyone working in wood and design.”
Other supporting organisations include woodworking machinery importer Thaisakol Group, Cedar Decor, a manufacturer and exporter of premium decorative laminates, and woodworking equipment supplier Ta-Chou Industry.
The German Pavilion will feature companies including Andritz, Anthon, Dieffenbacher and Baumer Inspection, showcasing automation, machinery and manufacturing technologies for the woodworking industry.
To serve the entire supply chain, TIWF 2026 will cover four main exhibitor profiles: machinery and technology; materials and supplies; fittings, hardware and components; and industry services, including software, design systems, trade media and associations.
“TIWF 2026 has been elevated into a premier regional business and knowledge platform for the woodworking and furniture trade. By consolidating automated machinery, alternative materials and sustainable solutions from top-tier global suppliers, the event is designed to sharpen the competitive edge of Thai and ASEAN enterprises,” said Loy Joon How, general manager of IMPACT Exhibition Management.
“It offers an invaluable window to network internationally, swap technical insights and scale up commercial growth. As an event held biennially, this is an indispensable milestone that no industry professional should miss,” he said.
Seminars and workshops
Alongside the exhibition, TIWF 2026 will host a series of seminars and educational sessions focusing on sustainability, design and timber construction.
Highlights include the From Forest to Future: The Sustainability Masterclass for Wood & Construction Summit, moderated by Jirawat Tangkijngamwong, president of the Thai Furniture Association and the Thai Timber Association, as well as sessions organised with Baan Lae Suan and Wazzadu covering design trends, sustainable materials and timber architecture.
Additional speakers include Nithit from Architects 49 (A49), Dusit from Saiyart Collection, and other industry specialists.
Technical training
Hands-on training will also return through the Carpentry Masterclass, led by Thai master craftsmen Ajarn Ae Pho Chang and Ajarn Keng Indy Woodworker.
The programme will be complemented by practical demonstrations from AHEC and workshops on smart factory management presented by Built Tech World.
TIWF 2026 will be co-located with the Building Construction Technology Expo (BCT Expo) 2026, enabling visitors to explore developments across the woodworking, furniture, architecture and construction sectors during a single visit.
Admission is free, with visitor registration now open.
