“Through our events such as Intermob, WoodTech, and the Istanbul Furniture Fair, we bring together manufacturers, suppliers, designers, and brands to encourage collaboration and innovation across the entire value chain. With the support of industry associations and stakeholders, we lead the sustainable development of these key sectors.
Consistency in exports is vital for Türkiye’s stable economic growth. Our exhibitors continue to manufacture with dedication and present their innovations to international markets. At RX Tüyap, we aim to provide services that meet global standards, strengthening Istanbul’s and Türkiye’s presence in global trade.”
Eight Consecutive Years of Trade Surplus in Woodworking Machinery
Arif Onur Kaçak, Board Member and Secretary General of AİMSAD, emphasized that Türkiye’s woodworking machinery sector has maintained a trade surplus for eight consecutive years:
“The European Union remains one of our top export markets, and this year, Spain stands out with increasing demand. WoodTech 2025 will directly contribute to the industry’s second-half export growth.
