意大利米兰国际木材加工机械及家具配件展览会（Xylexpo）是世界最专业的木工艺术和家具配件行业贸易展览会，该展从1968年开始，两年一届，在米兰国际展览中心举行。该展历史悠久，是世界大的木材加工专业展览会之一，该展集木材加工技术和国际家具、装潢家具、木材加工业用器械及半成品于一身，在向业内人士展示木工机械行业与家具行业新产品、新技术的同时，还搭建了巨大的商业平台，以全面的解决方案、先进的技术和经验向所有的参观者和参展商提供了一个解决问题、创新产品及进行投资咨询的良好契机。意大利米兰木工机械展与汉诺威木工机械展是欧洲大有影响力的木工机械展览会。
与Xylexpo的任命一直是木材行业的所有运营商的重要时刻，在5天内可以“触及”木工生产过程中涉及的所有技术。在Xylexpo将直接展示来自所有国家的最具代表性的公司，领先的制造商如果采用木工技术。Xylexpo是非常国际化的：在最后一天，几乎一半的游客是外国人，这个数据再次证实了米兰的中心地位和魅力。
当前正是木工机械行业的兴旺时期，Xylexpo展正是木材行业的热门展，好的消息来自木工市场，全球木材行业领导者德国于2017年前六个月的出口额突破十亿欧元，比上年同期增长百分之七。意大利仍然是技术制造商排名第二，在2017年上半年达到2.74亿欧元。美国是“意大利制造”产品的主要目的地，而第二和第三名则被德国和波兰分别占领。
Xylexpo为木材加工及其衍生物的每个阶段提供了全面的建议及解决方案，高度创新的布局，可以根据加工类型和参展商的需求，整合技术和产品。Rho展览中心允许Xylexpo提供功能性的展览网格，这得益于按行业划分的细分，旨在创造真正的“主题行程”。

展会报告(Show Reports):
Last Saturday, October 15, the 27th edition of Xylexpo, the biennial international exhibition of technology for the wood and furniture industry, closed with great satisfaction after four busy days in the halls 22 and 24 of FieraMilano-Rho. Satisfaction was tangible from the very start, supported by the desire to restore personal meetings and handshakes, which ultimately translated into positive figures for the exhibition.
Xylexpo 2022 was attended by more than 16 thousand unique visitors, a figure that reaches up to over 22 thousand visits if you consider that a single visitor came back several times over four days. Out of 16 thousand unique visitors, 12,356 were recorded at the entrance turnstiles, while at least 4 thousand – according to early but accurate estimates – came in from Viscom Italia and most of all from 33.Bimu. As you know, for the first time this year, the biennial exhibition of wood and furniture technology was held concurrently with the digital communication show and, leveraging a much more effective synergy, with the machine tools exhibition organized by Ucimu. The two events dedicated to manufacturing technology really created a virtuous circle, generating an impact that was immediately clear to the organizers during the exhibition days, and already announced in the preregistration phase, when most visitors had declared their intention to visit the parallel show.
Satisfaction was also supported by the fact that Xylexpo is probably the only post-pandemic exhibition that has achieved a number of unique visitors in line with the last pre-Covid event in 2018. The share of international visitors decreased by a few percent points (from 28 percent in 2018 to 25 percent in 2022), in line with the expectations of organizers due to the closure of markets like China, Russia and Ukraine, traditionally interested in Italian technology.
"The figures have confirmed not only the role of Xylexpo – said Luigi De Vito, president of the exhibition and Acimall – but also the decisions we made for this edition, aimed at redesigning the layout and focusing on the elements that will be the pillars of future exhibitions: a different strategy in product presentation and a strong focus on new digital services that can only expand the scope and function of an exhibition".
