Around 18,000 visitors were attracted to the first ever Technodomus exhibition at Rimini Fiera on March 11-14.

The exhibition, which featured 140 exhibitors, was launched to capitalize on the close proximity of Rimini to woodworking technology manufacturers in central Italy.

SCM, Biesse and Cefla Finishing were among companies exhibiting their products.

Building components were also on display, following the positive experiences with forerunner show DomusLegno, held in 2006 and 2007.

Technodomus seeks to address the entire wood chain and showcase applications of wood in construction and the furniture industry.
