From 17-19 May 2026, leading machinery manufacturer, IMA Schelling UK, will be exhibiting at the Professional Woodworking Expo at the NEC in Birmingham.
Formally MAFS and the W Exhibition, the three-day event continues to be a platform for small to medium sized woodworking professionals based in the UK and Ireland and as such, IMA Schelling UK’s stand will be dedicated to this area of the market.
“We’ve made the conscious decision to not lead with our machinery portfolio,” explains Markus Freuis, Managing Director of IMA Schelling UK. “Instead, we’re going to be presenting a range of ancillary products that are designed to meet the needs of the small to medium sized manufacturer.”
From UNTHA wood waste shredders and Elephant lifting devices, to compact and portable dust extraction systems from Modesta and Erbo, the stand will showcase a wide range of new and popular products that are exclusively available in the UK through IMA Schelling UK and designed to work seamlessly with panel processing machinery and materials including wood, plastic and aluminium.
Live demonstrations will also take place on the interactive stand, with product specialists on hand to help navigate visitors through the very latest technology.
Markus adds, “Returning to the Professional Woodworking Expo after a prolonged hiatus gives us an opportunity to present our latest products to a dedicated audience and connect with new and existing customers from across the UK and Ireland. In 2024, over 6,000 woodworking professionals attend the Expo and, with interest in the show continuing to grow, it has all the makings of a fantastic show. We look forward to seeing you there.”
