SCM reported excellent results at the 2025 edition of Ligna, welcoming thousands of business customers and visitors from over 100 countries and achieving significant success in terms of deals, contacts, and opportunities across several international markets, especially in the DACH region, Northern and Eastern Europe, and North and South America. Alongside the overall show attendance (78,000 visitors), these results reflect a dynamic industry that remains open to innovation despite global macroeconomic challenges.
With over 3,300 square meters of exhibition space, SCM reaffirmed its role as a strategic business partner at every stage of the production process, showcasing the integration of technology, services, and digital innovation. From the very first glance, the stand in Hall 13 embodied a forward-thinking vision that goes beyond machinery to offer integrated solutions designed to maximize process efficiency, product quality, and reduce operating costs.
Ligna also provided a valuable networking opportunity: 350 SCM experts and more than 100 dealers welcomed customers with the warm hospitality typical of “Made in Italy.” The commercial network also responded enthusiastically to the pre-show meeting held on May 25 at SCM’s stands.
New solutions on display: engineering, stand-alone, and more
Significant interest was recorded for SCM’s engineering solutions, including the exclusive edge-banding innovation from Tecno Logica. Stand-alone innovations also drew great attention, particularly in timber construction, surface treatment, and solid wood processing.
"Despite the complexity of the global scenario, we came to Ligna with tangible, high-value innovations for our customers," stated Pietro Gheller, SCM Division Director. "We invest 7% of our turnover in R&D and after-sales services, which have become the true key to supporting our customers’ business growth."
This year’s Ligna marked a special milestone: the 50th anniversary of the trade fair and, at the same time, the 50th anniversary of SCM’s participation.
A partnership driven by innovation, advanced technology, and a passion for wood that has continued uninterrupted since 1972 — and is already looking ahead to the next edition.
As announced by the organizers, Ligna 2027 will take place from May 10 to 14.
A heartfelt thank you to all the visitors, team members, dealers, partners, and media who contributed to the success of Ligna 2025.
