Belgian hardwood supplier Willy Carpentier Wood Industry Ltd is to exhibit in the UK for the first time at Woodmex 2004 at the NEC, Birmingham on October 10-13.

General manager Stefan Vander Stichele said: “The UK is our fastest growing export market and we have been looking for a suitable exhibition for some time. The strength of Woodmex is that all visitors use wood so it is ideally targeted to meet our needs.”

Exhibition manager John Southam said: “With timber suppliers joining the traditional exhibitors of machinery, plant and tooling, Woodmex is expanding further towards being the single, comprehensive supply exhibition for all companies in the wood business.”
