Eurobois: Over 50 Years of History Serving the Wood Industry
Created in 1971 and held every two years, Eurobois has gradually established itself as the leading trade fair for the wood industry in France. For over five decades, this event has kept pace with technological, environmental and economic changes in the sector, evolving its offering to meet the new challenges facing the wood industry.
Initially launched in Saint Etienne, a city with historical links to the wood processing industries, it strategically moved to Lyon in the 1990s, in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region: its growth and internationalisation required both a city with international infrastructure and logistics, and an exhibition centre capable of accommodating 30,000 visitors: Lyon, with the Eurexpo exhibition centre, ticked all these boxes.

The 2024 edition recorded record figures, marking steady growth, with 30,000 trade visitors and more than 500 exhibiting companies from 15 different countries. The show saw a sharp increase (20%) in visitors compared to the previous edition in 2022, confirming its growing appeal and status as a major event in the sector.
Eurobois offers a comprehensive overview of the industry, from upstream forestry to finished products, covering the entire wood value chain. It is an opportunity for professionals to identify their future suppliers in one place, compare market offerings and discover solutions that optimise their productivity and competitiveness.
Wood, a bio-based and renewable material, is establishing itself as a solution for the future in the face of climate challenges. In a context where sustainable construction and eco-responsibility have become priorities, Eurobois is an ideal place to understand how the industry is contributing to these objectives.
Beyond the stands, the exhibition offers a rich programme including competitions, conferences, round tables, workshops and more. Eurobois is truly a showcase for innovations that are profoundly transforming the woodworking industry and has become a major player in the French wood industry over time. Whether you are a manufacturer looking for new customers, a distributor wanting to expand your catalogue, a craftsman in search of high-performance equipment or a specifier looking for reliable partners, Eurobois offers the ideal environment to develop your business.
