<\/span>Markus H\u00fcllmann, Chairman of the German Woodworking Machinery Association (VDMA), provided an optimistic outlook for the woodworking machinery sector at the press preview for Ligna 2025.<\/p>\n

Despite economic challenges and global competition, H\u00fcllmann believes European manufacturers are poised for a recovery, focusing on automation, technical excellence, and innovation tailored to the woodworking and furniture industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the past year was difficult, there are many reasons for optimism,\u201d said H\u00fcllmann. \u201cBy leveraging automation and engineering expertise, we can reduce production costs, improve quality, and maintain our competitive edge.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2024, German manufacturers of woodworking machines saw a 15% decline in production, but the association expects a stable outlook in 2025, with increased orders starting in Q3. Exports dropped by 11.5% through November 2024, with European markets seeing the largest decline, while North America showed positive growth. The association anticipates North America and other overseas markets to contribute positively in 2025.<\/p>\n

H\u00fcllmann stressed that automation and digitalization are essential to maintaining competitiveness. \u201cAutomation helps reduce costs, improve efficiency, and ensure product quality, even with the challenges of recruiting skilled labor,\u201d he said. The growing emphasis on wood as a sustainable material, driven by climate change discussions, is also benefiting the industry, with wooden construction on the rise in Europe and beyond.<\/p>\n

The VDMA is urging the German government to implement reforms to maintain Germany\u2019s competitive position. These include making the labor market more flexible, simplifying immigration processes, and removing bureaucratic barriers. Excessive regulations in timber construction are also seen as a hurdle, with H\u00fcllmann calling for targeted deregulation. \u201cPoliticians must act now to secure Germany\u2019s leadership in the industry,\u201d H\u00fcllmann warned.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Ligna 2025, the world\u2019s leading trade fair for woodworking machinery, will take place from May 26 to 30 in Hanover. H\u00fcllmann highlighted the event\u2019s importance, saying it will showcase the latest technological solutions and demonstrate how the industry is turning challenges into opportunities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
