The 25th anniversary edition of the DREMA International Trade Fair of Machines and Tools for the Wood and Furniture Industries and the simultaneously held FURNICA International Trade Fair of Components for Furniture Production offer a wonderful opportunity to be at the very centre of the wood and furniture business. This year, these shows will be attended by nearly 900 companies representing almost all major brands in the world. Can you find a better and a more objective insight into the industry and the market? And if we add that one of the goals for most exhibitors is to showcase and test new products, we must clearly admit that participating in the fair is the best time for any business activity. As organisers of this important event, we arrange all sorts of meetings and special expositions to create the best possible and the most effective platform for establishing business contacts and collecting market information. We hope that the events we organise will prove helpful when making decisions and will give a clue on how to effectively handle challenges brought about by the market turbulence. Clearly, one of the solutions is enhanced competitiveness that results from the introduction of solutions that are more economic and improve the quality of finished products at the same time. These are main issues covered by accompanying events. DREMA and FURNICA are the most important events for the wood and furniture industries in the region of Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. These trade fairs are attended by all leading associations and organisations. There will be plenty of meetings, talks, debates and discussion forums. The topics of energy saving strategy, EU funds, as well as the situation and the future of the industries will be addressed at the 3rd Economic Forum of the Polish Wood and Furniture Industry Polwood 2009. We hope that such industry meetings will make your stay in Poznań even more fruitful, and this is what I wish you whole-heartedly. drema furnica a special edition of Poznań Fair Magazine Editor-in-Chief: Halina Buczkowska Editors: Dorota Krawczak, Donata Naumienko, Jacek Obarski, Anna Olszewska-Marcinkiewicz, Dorota Piątkowska, Monika Wietrzyńska Graphic composition: PressEnter Photos: Grzegorz Krykwiński, Piotr Piosik, Dana Puciłowska, archives, photos of advertisers Type matter: PressEnter Printed by: Zakład Poligraficzny Moś & Łuczak sp.j.

DREMA and FURNICA: it is worth being here Poznań DREMA and FURNICA shows provide an interesting insight into the market and facilitate business meetings. What proves this point is that all industry associations are there at the fairs, and the meeting of the Board of the European Federation of Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers EUMABOIS is scheduled to take place during the fairs. Both major organisations and entrepreneurs will try to look into the future from the angle of DREMA and FURNICA shows: the most important meeting in Central and Eastern Europe and Southern Europe that provides insight into new technologies and current directions of economic development. What will they be like: we are about to find out very soon during the visit to Poznań. Jacek Obarski * statistical forecasts pertain to DREMA and FURNICA 2009 shows jointly, and may be subject to change. As President of the European Federation of Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers, it is my honour and pleasure to welcome all visitors to DREMA 2009, focused on wood processing, components and supFranz-Josef Bütfering plies for the wood and Eumabois President furniture industry. The offer of hundreds of exhibitors is differentiated: craftsmen can find small traditional machines to enrich their work and make it more accurate. Medium and large companies can find the most sophisticated solutions the world market is offering to improve production quality and quantity. Poland is characterized by deep economic changes towards a quick growth in several production sectors which are going to improve the life standards of most people: at DREMA we find the market of woodworking machines, necessary to provide furniture and furniture complements to the rapidly evolving building industry for private homes, hotels, cinemas, theatres, social and tourist spots. Eumabois is a Federation, made up of 13 national Associations which in turn, represent 800 manufacturers of woodworking machinery, tools and components. The Federation promotes the European woodworking machinery industry and its development in the fields of economy, technology and science and fosters the knowledge and wider diffusion of the same through the promotion of exhibitions and conferences. Our companies manufacture technology for the production of furniture, doors and windows, floorings, bridges, roofs, carpentry, objects and complements both of solid wood and wood-based panels. Recent figures regarding the International supply show that 63.5% of the world export of stationary machinery is made by the European companies, followed by Taiwan with 8.4% and Japan with 6.3%. There’s no doubt that whenever you find even limited woodworking activity, there you will also find European woodworking equipment. European machines are the most appreciated and requested in the world thanks to their high technological level, versatility and long lasting features. I would like to invite you all to visit the fair and see with your own eyes the work we have done to bring technology to Poland, but also create chances of confrontation, exchange of opinions and efficient businessoriented reports between exhibitors and visitors. Eumabois takes the opportunity to thank the Organisers for the perfect organisation of the event and to wish you all a profitable edition of DREMA 2009. photo: Eumabois 25th International Trade Fair of Machines and Tools for the Wood and Furniture Industries DREMA DREMA • FURNICA NEWS 3 topics of the day It’s worth knowing Everything for the visitors Before the trade fairs A special matchmaking programme has been created for DREMA and FURNICA exhibitors and visitors to help them plan their visit to the fairs more precisely.

Business in Upper Silesia A larger exhibition area, increased number of exhibitors and visitors, as well as interesting side events – this is the brief summary of the second Exhibition of Woodworking Machines and Tools DREMASILESIA - MEBELTECHEXPO 2008 held in Katowice on 3-5 October 2008. T he exposition of machines and tools for the wood processing sector was held on MTK grounds for the second time. This edition boasted a 25% increase in the exhibition area, as compared with the previous show, and the number of exhibitors amounting to 63. The show’s unquestionable asset was the comprehensive exposition offer, including simple manual tools and more complex equipment, such as machining units and turning machines. The organisers focused on variety and attractiveness by organising special events for the visitors. One of the most popular areas was the Island of New Products, Innovations and Technologies – a venue for debating such issues as energy consumption in spinning or the use of EU funds for woodworking investments. Additionally, the visitors had an opportunity to see a model furniture company at an exposition entitled: “My first 6X9 workshop” organised by CEHPOL. A competition under the 4 NEWS DREMA • FURNICA title: “Construct the Eiffel Tower and go to Paris” was a great opportunity to have fun and enjoy oneself.

Modern production from A to Z Live Furniture Factory is a unique display of modern furniture production technologies – a place, where a furniture factory of the future and in operation can be admired. his year’s Live Furniture Factory is an event, which shows a furniture production process from the design, through the selection of technology and machines to the final product. Apart from box furniture (a dining room cabinet), also frame furniture (a table and a chair) will be produced. The basic raw material used for this purpose will be solid wood. T Technical preparation This year’s event has a new feature – technical preparation of production. A design office and a product development department have been set up on the display platform. Both are supervised by Professor Jerzy Smardzewski from the Department of Furniture Design at the Poznań University of Life Sciences. In his opinion Research and development aim to quickly prepare detailed parameters for the design, structural and technological documentation in an integrated IT environment configured Organiser: to programme concurrently, analyse the static parameters, rigidity and strength of the furniture that is designed as virtual models, control the quality of prototypes using scanning technology, including checking how the geometry and strength of concept models compare with those of the prototypes. In many cases the work of a factory office is limited to the preparation of 2D drawings, while the R&D unit at the University is concerned with rapid prototyping, which is ideal to create personalized (discreet, customized) products, made to individual customer orders. Reverse engineering systems help to prepare a numerical (virtual) model on the basis of absolute measurements of a threedimensional object, complete design documentation (CAD), control the manufacturing process using CNC machines (CAM) or permit the use of rapid prototyping. The design employs methodologies of shape measurement and calibration of 3D objects, and conversion of a point cloud to a format compatible with CAD/CAE/CAM systems. The event Media Patronage: features measurement and analysis of design errors for some of the furniture made. Virtual design and analysis of furniture structure, as well as the use of reverse engineering methodology, easily show that the designed furniture is safe. Form and function The staff of the Poznań University of Life Sciences, in consultation with MTP’s project coordinators, selected a furniture design, which combines the form based on modern design trends with ergonomics and the latest structural and technological solutions. It is the best design of Przemysław Myszkowski, a senior student of Furniture Design at the Poznań University of Life Sciences. My work is a combination of chance and inspiration. I was looking for an item of utility furniture, which conforms to the current design trends and at the same time can be flexibly used, says P. Myszkowski.

The best experts from Poland and the world discuss about wood and furniture sector 3rd Economic Forum of the Polish Wood and Furniture Industry Polish wood and furniture industry in Europe – are we still cost competitive? Debate of experts in the light of recession Poznań, Poland, 1.04.2009, 11.00 am – 3.00 pm MTP fair grounds, hall 11 during Drema and Furnica 2009.

Are we still competitive? re we still going to be an attractive partner for foreign recipients of Polish timber products? How to prepare for the forthcoming changes? How to survive the period of economic downturn? Where to look for savings? The idea behind the 3rd Economic Forum of the Polish Wood and Furniture Industry Polwood 2009 will be to find answers to these questions. Only once a year, managers of the largest enterprises in the woodworking and furniture industries in Poland, directors of State Forests, researchers, economists and policy makers meet in Poznań to take part in the debate of the Polwood Economic Forum. A few hundred guests invited by the Forum organisers all watch a matter-of-fact discussion among experts, supported with the latest research and analyses as well as case studies. The choice of the most up-to-date, yet often difficult and controversial topics, as well as opinions expressed in the discussion tend to stir a lot of emotions. However, Polwood does not serve to prove the point made by any party, to support any specific solutions or promote businesses operating in this market, but to fulfil a mission being a strive to develop the Polish wood and furniture industries through identification of opportunities and threats that may be out there in the future, and to present various concepts to seize or mitigate those, as appropriate. This year, Polwood will be attended by 430 participants and, like in previous editions, will comprise three parts. The speakers of Panel I devoted to timber cost savings will include: Norbert Dowejko (Barlinek Inwestycje), Tomasz Wójcik (State Forests) or Jacek Kulis (Mondi Świecie). Polwood 2009 experts will discuss the following: what the supply of raw ma- A More and more expensive timber and growing energy and labour costs: over the four years following the Poland’s accession to the European Union, the landscape of the Polish wood and furniture industries has indeed changed a lot. terial in Poland and all over the world will be, how its price will develop, how to streamline timber use, which legal solutions hamper cost competitiveness in terms of raw material, what solutions for raw material cost savings used in the world could be transferred to the Polish wood and furniture industries. Panel II will gather experts on energy cost saving. They will among others discuss the following: what are the energy costs generated by a woodworking company in Poland, what technologies are conducive to energy savings in the wood and furniture industries, is wood waste a source of energy or a raw material for production, how the wood industry will benefit from the EU promotion of energy savings in construction. The experts will include Ludwik Olczyk, who implemented solutions conducive to energy cost savings in his sawmill and invested in a pellet production line. Panel II will also include a presentation of a movie from a woodworking plant that is utilizing wind power. The topic of energy savings in window and door joinery will be discussed by Jarosław Mikos (Stolarka S.A.). In Panel III, Polwood experts are going to discuss changes in the profile of an ideal employee in the woodworking industry. Panel III experts will among others address the following: how much we can save on automated production, can you replace humans with robots in the woodworking industry, how much you can save on moving production to countries with cheaper labour force. It has already become a tradition that Forum presents a Polwood award for the Investment of the Year. The 2008 nominees include primary wood processing plants and furniture manufacturers, window and door joinery producers or manufacturers of wood packaging, as well as representatives of the board and plywood sector. Among the winners of previous editions of the contest there were Igvar Kamprad (Ikea) and Ludwik Olczyk (Tartak Olczyk). n Venue: Pavilion 11 Time: 1 April 2009, 11.00 am - 3.00 pm Organisers: Inwestor Publishing House, MTP Expert partner: PricewaterhouseCoopers Partners: Polish Economic Chamber of Wood Industry, Polish Chamber of Commerce for Furniture Manufacturers, Wood Based Panels Producers Association of Poland, Woodworking Club, EPAL National Committee Media patronage: Rzeczpospolita, TVP Poznań, Gazeta Przemysłu Drzewnego, Meblarstwo Komponenty i Technologie, Drewno Technika Keeping 2008 furniture sales level is possible Marek Adamowicz director of the office of the Polish Chamber of Commerce for Furniture Manufacturers, thinks that furniture sales growth figures will be similar to last year’s. 16 NEWS DREMA • FURNICA The furniture industry may fend off the most serious implications of the economic downturn. It is all owing to constantly high exports to Western European countries as well as reasonable and comprehensive utilisation of EU funds. At the press conference of DREMA and FURNICA trade fairs, Marek Adamowicz, director of the office of the Polish Chamber of Commerce for Furniture Manufacturers, talked about the situation of the furniture industry and prospects for 2009. Summing up the last year, Marek Adamowicz emphasized that keeping the sold production at the level of 25 billion PLN will signal dropping furniture pro- duction by about 3% as compared with 2007. As the greatest threats for the furniture industry he mentioned shrinking export markets, the decline of residential housing construction in Poland, steady wage pressure, credit crunch and problems with financial liquidity experienced by companies. Work effectiveness should be improved through plant restructuring, investments in new technologies, machines and IT, says Marek Adamowicz. If these steps are taken, and small and medium companies are flexible and adjust to changing market situation, it will be possible to keep sales levels high in 2009. (M.W.) www.furnica.pl • www.drema.pl • www.furnica.pl • www.drema.pl The future of the woodworking industry Wood industry is the 3rd largest branch of Poland’s economy, with a 9% share in sales value terms and employment level of ca. 300,000 Interview with … Andrzej Górski President of the Polish Economic Chamber of Wood Industry DF NEWS: There are segments of the woodworking industry, such as sawmilling, which have been expanding a lot over the recent couple of years. Will this tendency continue? Andrzej Górski: The sawmilling segment of the woodworking industry has experienced a rapid growth recently. It was very much needed, as most Polish sawmills were lagging behind in terms of technology, and they had outdated machinery. Recent years have seen investments and business development. I believe this trend will continue, apart from periods of serious economic downturn. The lack of investments will clearly affect the competitiveness of Polish sawmills which will lose markets for timber. DF NEWS: What do you think the future of the Polish woodworking industry will be? A.G: The future of the Polish woodworking industry will hinge upon a number of factors. First of all, we need to know the answers to two fundamental questions: will the Polish woodworking industry have stable terms and conditions of timber supply from the State Forests that are conducive to competitiveness and profitability, and will the industry obtain funding for investments. Answering the first question, we can say today that the Polish Economic Chamber of Wood Industry together with other woodworking organisations, i.e. the Association of Polish Papermakers, Wood Based Panels Producers Association of Poland, Polish National Committee of EPAL and Woodworking Club Association have com- menced cooperation with the State Forests under the auspices of the Government in order to develop stable conditions of trade and cooperation between the wood industry and State Forests. These talks and agreements are tough, sometimes tense, but necessary, and all participants are aware of this. I hope they will eventually bring the very much awaited stabilisation and will be acceptable for both the recipient and the supplier and will be in line with competition regulations, the latter pushed through by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection. If such regulations are adopted, it will clearly contribute to the development of the woodworking industry in Poland. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a definitive answer to the question whether the industry will obtain relevant funds for investments. The woodworking sector is capital-intensive, and any investments require a lot of financial effort from companies. What is crucial is the availability of investment loans or subsidies, e.g. EU funds. The industry is not able to make investments from their own funds only, and if access to the aforementioned resources is denied, it will hamper investments. The EU funds surely are an opportunity here. However, you need to overcome many bureaucratic hurdles in order to obtain funding, and most enterprises in the woodworking sector are small and medium companies that cannot rely on a fully-fledged legal or even accounting services. These companies are often discouraged from applying for assistance due to the lack of relevant publicity and incomprehensible regulations. At present, there are not any good advisory companies on the market that could provide consulting to small woodworking companies on utilising EU funds. This is where the Polish Economic Chamber of Wood Industry should be more involved. The development direction of the Polish woodworking industry should be specialized production (this goes for large and medium companies) and niche production with small demand (for small companies). A majority of Polish companies are small and medium in size, they can introduce changes in production easily or redirect production very fast. However, what will be decisive for the future development of the industry is the price of raw material purchased from the State Forests. n Timber for construction always in demand This is the second time the “Wood in Construction” show has taken place at the International Construction Fair BUDMA held on 20-23 January in Poznań. This year’s edition of the show was attended by 72 companies, including 20 from abroad. he exhibition located in one of the pavilions of the Poznań International Fair featured among others wooden structures, finishing systems, a wide range of wooden houses, as well as timber materials, slats and beams often used in the construction industry. The Village of Wooden Houses, where some compelling examples of this type of architecture were showcased, was yet another highlight for all those interested in wood. The “Wood in Construction” show is the only such event in Poland where both products and semi-finished products from timber used in construction are presented. This year, the exhibition space was attended by many carpenters, roofers and contractors, which proves its increasing popularity. Among the visitors there were also architects planning to use wood in their designs.

Its first edition was simply a display of new products offered by participating companies. However, the subsequent edition initiated a series of exhibitions that inspired designers and producers alike. he upcoming Charm of Detail is a presentation of trends in furniture upholstery. Unlike its previous edition, it will be an impression-based exhibition full of openwork, very airy, using light effects. Its main elements (the light and the fabrics) will be combined with a motif of large lanterns. The Charm of Detail (in reference to last year’s idea of the pattern book) will showcase upholstery fabrics that will not hang loosely, as is usually the case at trade fair stands, but will be stretched as if on a piece of furniture. Apart from the pattern book, the exhibition will feature armchairs differing in the type of upholstery fabrics. All previous editions of the Charm of Detail shared one feature – they created a venue for T meetings and an opportunity to exchange opinions. The upcoming event will be accompanied by many lectures and presentations. Talks on the perception of colours will be given by Zuzanna Skalska, who announces her lectures this year in the following way: My presentation is related to the latest colour trends visible in various industries. The talks will deal with the perception, understanding and implementation of colours in brands by consumers and will end with a short workshop for the audience. According to Zuzanna Skalska, innovative ideas are created out of openness to various sources of inspiration, frequently beyond a given industry. Hence the idea of an all-encompassing analysis of colour trends in the furniture industry and beyond. During the presentation, the audience will learn about 13 colours, their definitions, cultural context and the perception of shades in the latest design. The Charm of Detail exhibition, organised annually, is very popular among furniture manufacturers participating in FURNICA. The concept of this year’s event and the topics to be tackled create yet another opportunity to find out more about current and future trends. Visit the Charm of Detail to gain the latest knowledge about design trends. Venue: Pavilion 7, Stand 20 Organisers: “Świat Mebli” quarterly, Poznań International Fair Colour as the starting point photo: Janusz Pokora Colour has always accompanied the humankind. The difference is that colour perception was directly related to nature for our ancestors. The human skin colour depended on the climate. Pigments humans could find or obtain came from plants or minerals. Modern consumers do not differ at all from old tribes. It is just that the media, companies and shops, not the nature, provide colours to them. The choice is immense. How to understand colours? Which colours and shades will be “fashionable” in the near future? To answer these questions, one has to follow and understand changes in the society that undergoes changes every year. This leads to changes in the socalled consumer trends, i.e. the tastes and desires of buyers. These transformations are determined by economy, politics, technology and the natural environment around us. The conclusions from the above influence our daily lifestyle that serves as a basis for foreseeing trends in the near future. Thus, companies that treat trends professionally (regular staff training, subscriptions of professional journals, cooperation with designers) are most often visible on the market because they translate the “lifestyle” (i.e. trends) into new products or services. Well translated trends strengthen the image of the company, its brand and product, thus entailing increased sales. It follows from my long-term professional experience that the majority of companies (not only in Poland), or rather people responsible for developing, implementing and marketing new products do not know how to understand and, first of all, how to translate trends for the purposes of a given brand. It frequently happens that this translation (here in relation to colour trends) involves the application of a new “fashionable” colour to a product that has long been produced. As a result, the chosen colour is in line only with the desired colour label, but not its shade. And the shade is what determines if the product colours are trendy or passé. My talks will explain the difference between the definition of colour (the basic colour) and its perception and understanding by a modern consumer. I will focus on 13 colours. I will discuss their definitions and show examples of the latest colour trends. The lectures will finish with short workshops to offer you a method to create a new strategy (for a company, brand, product etc.). Join me at the show! Zuzanna Skalska Zuzanna Skalska has monitored trends in various industries for over 10 years. Her clients include companies (ranging from small to large) and huge international corporations. She first worked for Philips Design in the corporate strategy department. Now she works for VanBerlo Strategy + Design, a Dutch design agency. She lectures at the Industrial Design Faculty of the Technical University TU/e in Eindhoven. For over 5 years, she has been the board member of the annual urban Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Additionally, she has held talks and workshops on trends for years (also in Poland). Technical Skills Range Test in practice Each year Technical Skills Range generates great interest from DREMA visitors, being a unique place to showcase – also in action – machinery designed for surface preparation and application of protective coatings in furniture production. anufacturers and distributors of furniture, surface preparation equipment, coating and drying systems, as well as paints and varnishes have an excellent opportunity to share their experience. All participants of the Technical Skills Range can display their offers and talk to specific customers, because the event is visited by professionals wishing to find out how particular devices or varnishes work in practice. Only during such field examination, accompanied by specialists, can they test exhibited tools and devices: wet coating applications, hook conveyor systems, grinding and sanding tools, exhaust, coating analysis equipment, etc. They are at visitors’ disposal all day long. This year, the following companies will make their solutions available for testing in this special area: • Techmal will exhibit the new Optima 2100 spray gun from Befrag, featuring aircoat system with the K30 piston pump from Asturo. Moreover, air coating operations will be performed using Optima 650 gun connected to M Conjured from Wood a pressure tank and a low-pressure membrane pump. • Kremlin will present wet coating applications and pumps. The demonstrations will involve Sopur stains applied in the Gama spray booth. • Wagner-Service will show two coating devices. WAGNER TwinControl 28-40/40 is a 2-component CNC system with the following specifications: ratio 28:1, mixing proportions: 0.1:1 to 20:1, mixing error: +/- 2%, pump capacity: 3 x 40 cm³. The device is characterised by: varnish life control with alarm system; automatic rinsing; data on the use of specific components; simple operation. The other device is WAGNER GM 4000 AirCoat gun – part of the latest line of guns, lightweight and highly ergonomic, with even higher spraying quality, compared with GM 3000 AC line. • Nawara Service will demonstrate the Schuko Farb-Meister 20/20 PK coating unit. It is a dry-coat Farb-Meister 20/20 version with a paperboard filter and main filter (Paint-Stop fabric), featuring anti-explosion fan with a capacity of 6,500 m3/h air volume. Using premade extension elements, the extraction capacity of this specially designed device can be increased, being easily covered by a fan with properly selected specifications. As the vent can be mounted either on the left or right panel, depending on customer needs, the unit can be conveniently installed in any working area. Supplied with the standard version, a damper mounted on the fan pipe enables economical management of hot air, resulting in lower energy consumption. • Atlas Copco will supply the Skills Range installations with compressed air, using an inhouse developed compressor. • Plantag and Italcolor will supply paints and coatings, while Italcolor will also showcase a paint application device. Venue: Pavilion 4 Organisers: Editors of “Lakiernictwo Przemysłowe”, Poznań International Fair Media patronage: Faktor Publishing House An inspiring exhibition Conjured from Wood is a competition that proves that students of woodworking schools are young people who are not only well prepared to their future professions, but also true lovers of this renewable material, full of ideas and unlimited imagination. Inwestor Publishing House and Poznań International Fair, the organisers of this annual competition, give an opportunity to young and talented students to present their skills and resourcefulness to a wide group of DREMA visitors. An exhibition of competition works is organised at Inwestor’s stand. It includes everyday use items that are usually made of raw materials other than wood. However, the students prove that the application of the renewable material, such as wood, in their production gives them unique appearance and often does not exclude their user values. Thus, the exhibition is a source of inspiration to people interested in innovations in industrial design. It also creates opportunities for the most resourceful designers to win valuable prices. The most original works are chosen by the competition jury. The main prize for the winner is a voucher for the purchase of Metabo electric tools worth PLN 2,000. Additionally, the winner’s school will receive a machine – S500 P band saw endowed by SCM Group Polska Sp. z o.o. valued at PLN 17,000. Other students from the winner’s class will come to the fair (all expenses covered by the organisers) to witness the award ceremony. Additional prizes are prepared for authors of works with honourable mentions. These contestants will receive Metabo electric tools worth PLN 500 Additionally all schools participating in the competition will get an annual subscription of Gazeta Przemysłu Drzewnego, Meblarstwo Komponenty i Technologie as well as Drewno Technika. It is quite telling that the competition will be held under the auspices of the Ministry of National Education. The competition sends an educational message. The contestants who conjure items from wood and wood derivatives learn independence, creativity and skills to conduct a production process – from the concept of design, through the selection of available technologies, up to product pro- motion. The competition develops creative thinking both in the design and the production stage. n Venue: Pavilion 3A, Stand 31 Award Ceremony: 3 April 2009, 2 pm Organisers: Inwestor Publishing House, Poznań International Fair Sponsor of the award for the school: SCM Group Polska Sp. z o.o. • Sponsor of the award for students: Metabo Polska Sp. z o.o. Under the honorary auspices of: Ministry of National Education DREMA • FURNICA NEWS 23 trade fair events www.drema.pl • www.furnica.pl • www.drema.pl • Polish industry of woodworking machines, devices and tools oland, thanks to extensive raw material resources and centuries-long development of wood processing industries is a country where the forestry and woodworking sector is one of the main branches of national economy. Further expansion of wood processing in Poland will be conditional on the implementation of cutting-edge technologies and equipment incorporating international advances in woodworking and wood refining technologies, and applications of wood-based materials. This, in turn, triggers industry demand for modern woodworking machines and equipment, which has an impact on Polish mechanical engineering companies. Initiatives launched in the sector are aimed at creating favourable conditions supporting the growth of innovation. The ability of Polish enterprises to quickly implement advanced technological, technical and organisational solutions will be a major factor determining the competitiveness of the Polish wood processing machines and tools industry in the near future. Thanks to activities undertaken by the Droma Association of Manufacturers of Woodworking Machinery, Devices and Tools the sector has successfully maintained its high status both in Poland and abroad. One of the tasks of the Droma Association is to organise mutual exchange of information on new production technologies, management and application of systems of quality assurance, environmental protection and labour safety. In addition, the Association supports its members in collecting, processing and sharing information. To this end, it cooperates with foreign manufacturers and organisations. Another important role of the DROMA Association of Manufacturers of Woodworking Machinery, Devices and Tools has a great contribution to the development of the Polish engineering industry. P Poland’s tradition of constructing machines for wood processing goes back to the end of the 19th century. The majority of Polish enterprises specialised in the production of woodworking machines and tools have operated on the market for dozens of years. The Polish sector of wood processing machines, devices and tools thus has a long-established tradition, yet at the same time it relies on steady technical and technological progress. Association is the provision of advisory services concerning licence agreements, protection against unfair competition, regulations and standards, and their adjustment to international requirements. The organisation is a very active organiser of conferences, consulting sessions, meetings, shows, training trips, joint Polish and foreign exhibitions and other forms of product promotion. Since 2006, Droma has been a member of EUMABOIS the European Federation of Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers which groups 13 national associations representing major European manufacturers of woodworking machines and tools. The associations bring together nearly a thousand companies engaged in the manufacturing of machines and accessories for the wood industry. The total share of all EUMABOIS member companies in the international market exceeds 56 per cent. Droma’s active participation in the initiatives launched by EUMABOIS offers an opportunity to influence decisions that shape the future of the woodworking machines and tools industry not only in Europe, but all over the world. Comprehensive solutions for small and medium enterprises Polish Furniture Factory During this year’s DREMA fair, members of the Droma Association of Manufacturers of Woodworking Machinery, Devices and Tools will showcase a model furniture factory, displaying the capabilities of Polish manufacturers of woodworking machines and tools in terms of comprehensive technological equipment solutions for small and medium companies from the wood and furniture sector. he furniture factory project is also expected to prove that if Polish manufacturers act jointly, they can offer a rich variety of equipment and technological lines, meeting the expectations of different customer groups. The Polish Furniture Factory will be located in Pavilion 5, in a specially assigned exhibition space next to the exposition shared by members T 24 NEWS DREMA • FURNICA At present, the Polish sector of woodworking machines and tools offers a complete and comprehensive range of products for wood industry companies. The extensive assortment of machinery manufactured by Members of the Association includes over 200 different types of woodworking machines and equipment, e.g. those designed specifically for the sawmilling industry, furniture-making companies, first-fix joinery factories, general-purpose wood processing plants and wood waste management. The most esteemed products on foreign markets are conventional solid wood processing machines and tools. Through cooperative activities, Polish manufacturers belonging to the Association are also able to design and deliver complete wood processing plants. During the forthcoming edition of DREMA, Polish manufacturers of woodworking machines and tools will display a model furniture factory incorporating Polish technological and structural solutions. The final product of the factory will be a pinewood bookshelf. n of the Droma Association. The furniture factory will occupy an exhibition area of over 600 m2. Its final product will be a library shelving unit measuring 180 x 80 x 35 cm, with a bottom level and 4 shelves. All elements will be made from pine wood, connected using finger joints in order to show how short wooden elements may be used for furniture production. Technological design of the furniture factory is expected to give insight into the technological process – from the stage of sawing dried timber up to the final shelf assembly, involving a number of intermediate technological centres: gang saw centre, defect removal, providing length joints, four-side wood processing, providing width joints, polishing, mechanical processing, drilling, assembly. Moreover, wood waste management solutions will be presented at the gang saw centre, along with a demonstration of devices for grinding tools used in the furniture factory. The entire project will involve a number of companies associated in Droma, e.g.: Oska, Goma, Famad, Tech-Fa-Miler, Safo, Jaroma, Gomad, Lakfam, Techmar, Gopol, Nadi, Prochera, Tanel. Kurier Drzewny magazine will be the key media partner of the event. n www.furnica.pl • www.drema.pl • www.furnica.pl • www.drema.pl Aces of distribution Ranking of wholesalers For the very first time in Poland, furniture manufacturers and readers of Meblarstwo Komponenty i Technologie monthly will develop the Aces of Distribution ranking aimed at naming the best wholesalers who supply the furniture industry. anufacturers tend to rely on a couple of suppliers. Not all meet their expectations, but there are many who stand out positively because they provide a comprehensive offer, keep introducing new products from foreign markets and have a perfect customer service and logistic system. When assessing specific components of their suppliers of semi-finished products or furniture accessories, furniture manufacturers are going to vote the best wholesalers who ensure good cooperation in developing competitive advantage in the industry. The results of the Aces of Distribution competition will also form a compendium of knowledge for wholesalers themselves, who will learn about clients’ expectations as well as models and standards that are of utmost importance for them: timely deliveries, a wide range of products, quality service, methods of goods delivery or maybe attractive promotions? We will find out the winner at the Final Gala at which the statuette of Aces of Distribution will be presented to the winning wholesaler; a special prize will also be presented to one of the voters. It will be a circular saw SC/4SW valued at PLN 23,000 endowed by SCM Group Polska Sp. z o.o. The wholesaler who wins the competition is going to receive a car prize, namely Fiat Fiorino Cargo endowed by Fiat Professional. n M Final Gala: 2 April 2009, 5.00 pm, Linden Avenue Organisers: Inwestor Publishing House, the editor of Meblarstwo Komponenty i Technologie monthly and Poznań International Fair, Sponsor of the award for wholesaler: Fiat Professional Sponsor of the award for voters: SCM Group Polska Sp. z o.o. Interview with … MariA Antoni Hikiert Secretary of the WoodBased Panels Producers Association of Poland In the lead of manufacturers of woodbased panels DF NEWS: Could you, please, briefly describe Polish manufacturers of wood-based panels? Maria Antoni Hikiert: Poland is one of European leaders in the production of wood-based panels. Taking into account all panel types, we rank second in Europe, after Germany. Depending on processing technology, wood-based panel factories can be classified into three basic groups. These include: manufacturing plants of plywood, wet process fibreboard and chipboard, MDF board and OSB, the latter defined as dry process boards. There are eight plywood manufacturing plants in Poland at the moment. They belong to seven owners. On account of limited raw material supply, the production volume of Polish plywood is rather small, however the product is of very good quality and varied in terms of assortment. Wet process fibreboard is manufactured in a total of five plants, two of them belonging to the Steico corporation. In this branch of wood-based panel manufacturing we are definitely the best in Europe. Dry process production is carried out at six manufacturing plants owned by four companies. Their production output largely satisfies the demand of the furnituremaking industry. DF NEWS: To what extent does their production output satisfy the needs of the Polish market? Does the quality correspond to European standards? M.A.H.: I strongly believe that the wood-based panels industry is capable of satisfying in 100 per cent the demand of the Polish market, where furniture makers account for 85 per cent of customers. What is more, it is still able to export substantial volumes. While it is true that not so long ago, when the overall market situation was exceptionally good, fibreboard was occasionally in short supply, the times are gone now. It should be noted that manufacturing plants keep on making investments and expanding their production capacity. The structure of demand on the market has been changing as well. Fibreboard manufactured in Poland meets all requirements set out in European standards. However, furniture made in Poland is not only sold on European markets but also exported to other continents. The USA has recently introduced very stringent requirements for wood-based panels in terms of formaldehyde emissions. European standards will probably also be made more rigid in this respect. Polish manufacturers of wood-based panels, who are among technologically most advanced enterprises worldwide, are certainly able to meet rigorous expectations in terms of technology, however stricter requirements entail higher costs. It is hard to predict whether, faced with rising prices of wood and energy, we will be able to keep up with foreign competition. DF NEWS: How important are DREMA, FURNICA fairs to Members of the Association? What is the main motivation behind the Association’s participation in the fairs? M.A.H.: It is not the first time that the Wood-Based Panels Producers Association of Poland is taking part in DREMA, FURNICA as part of the so-called Island of Associations. In our view, the creation of the Island is a very good idea and we hope that this kind of cooperation linking several branches of the wood industry will become closer. The joint exhibition stand organised by associations makes it possible to integrate the entire industry and challenge the still prevailing view that other manufacturers of wood-based panels are nothing but competitors. Obviously, the main goal of participating in the trade fair is to promote the industry and its products. Furthermore, fairs make it possible to gain valuable information about the expectations of our business partners, furniture manufacturers in particular. Trade fairs are a source of knowledge of the most important and the most innovative technologies and trends in the wood and furniture industries. Another important aspect of trade fairs is the opportunity to hold, within a short time, a number of business meetings that make it possible to settle trading issues but also exchange views on topics which are of greatest importance for the industry, identify development trends and assess prospects for the future of the wood industry. DF NEWS: Thank you for all the information. We hope that the fair will be a successful and enjoyable experience. DREMA • FURNICA NEWS 25 trade fair events Association of Polish Sawmills Such an opportunity only at the trade fair The Association of Polish Sawmills was established in 2006 and gathers 50 small and medium enterprises that saw up to 50,000 m3 of timber per annum. These are often family companies that employ an average of 25 persons. However, they are very important for the economy, because they have a large share in GDP on one hand, and create jobs in small towns, where they tend to be located, on the other. irst and foremost, the Association maintains contacts with the administration of State Forests and its organisational units and participates in the works of the directorate as a member of forest committees. It is also involved in the decision-making process at the level of state administration. An important task of the Association is to negotiate prices of raw materials, develop the most convenient terms and conditions of purchase, care for the quality and establish standards. The Association is trying to promote matters of importance for woodworking production and sawmill operation in a dialogue with decision-making institutions, parliamentary committees and representatives of F New technical solutions, effective technologies, new materials and interesting design, all in line with the latest trends in the global economy, can be found at the trade fair. xhibitors go beyond showcasing them at their stands, and more and more often they prepare a special promotion of their offer. It is worth taking a closer look at such activities. For example various applications of cellular boards in mass furniture production will be presented in a special area. This event is co-organised by the Egger company, producer of lightweight cellular boards that are winning the furniture market. We have clearly defined ourselves as the innovator. Eurolight is a great challenge for the market and it will have a powerful impact on furniture construction in the years to come, said Michael Egger, the company owner. If so, perhaps it would be worthwhile to learn something about cellular boards, their ergonomics and options of combining them with different materials? E ministries or local governments. It also organises meetings and conferences on crucial industry issues in order to facilitate production in sawmills. The Association is actively involved in the life of the woodworking industry, which finds confirmation in its participation in the DREMA trade fair. This year Chairman Andrzej Kaliszan also invites representatives of the woodworking industry to the stand of the Association organised under the slogan ”Buyers of round timber, unite”. He believes participation in DREMA to be a wonderful opportunity to present the Association and its activity to sawmill representatives from all over Poland. This is a good place to hold talks about the situation of the woodworking industry, re-establish contacts and find new members. n 8th Polish Championships in Nail Hammering You can be a champion, too The Polish Championships in Nail Hammering are a large fair attraction and great fun for all the DREMA fair visitors. You can not only check out your hammering skills, but even become a champion. hat is why it is worth coming to the stand of the competition co-organiser, the Inwestor Publishing House. For some people it is just fun, for others: genuine emotions they have been waiting for a year. This is already the eighth time true professionals will compete for the champion title to prove that it is possible to hammer five 3.5 inch nails into squared timber with only five hammer hits. Impossible or maybe dead easy? Anyone can try. If you manage, you will qualify for the final, and all finalists receive awards, namely electrical tools from Metabo. The first person who performs the competition stunt in the grand final and hammers five nails, hitting them five times, successfully coping with stress and handling huge emotions, with the audience watching, will receive the main prize, i.e. the title of the Champion of Poland and a cheque for Matebo electrical tools worth 5 thousand PLN. The Championships will be held over four trade fair days, and the grand final on the very last day of the fair. n T Venue: Pavilion 3A, Stand 31 Final: 3 April 2009, 1.30 pm Organisers: Inwestor Publishing House, Poznań International Fair Sponsor of awards: Metabo Polska Sp. z o.o.

There will also be coverage from the Award Ceremony of Aces of Distribution. Every 26 NEWS DREMA • FURNICA day, exhibitors and visitors alike will be invited to the radio studio located in the fair press centre to talk about the background of the wood and furniture industries, about new investments, interesting technologies as well as new technology and product launches. You can listen to the radio on the MTP premises only during fair days. It will be run by professional journalists and radio reporters from Inwestor Publishing House. n Egger has launched EUROLIGHT® lightweight cellular boards. A presentation of a mineral material that has been on the market for quite a while but has recently become extremely popular also looks promising. This material from the Rehau company is known as Rausolid and has a stone-like appearance but a warm pleasant feel. Its properties allow to offer a comprehensive system of products, from solid slabs for worktops, through washbasins, kitchen sinks and other accessories. At the Fair not only possible applications of this material are to be discussed, but also accessories for its processing. Many visitors will surely be interested in the Rauvolet acoustic-line, a modern roller shutter system for furniture offered by Rehau. What makes the acoustic-line different from other furniture roller shutter systems is the new type of profile design: holes punched along the length of the profile which, combined with a special viscose-based fibre applied inside the hollow section, effectively reduces noise exposure and gives roller shutters incredible noise absorption properties. This is a wonderful solution for office furniture, in particular for increasingly popular open space offices. n NOVELTIES New market offers There will be plenty of them at the stands of DREMA and FURNICA exhibitors.

Pavilion 3, Stand 50 Energy-efficient windows of GOLD IV 78 system IV 78 system from Karl Gold Werkzeugfabrik GmbH is based on the tried and tested solution Energy-efficient windows of GOLD IV 92 system IV 92 system from Karl Gold Werkzeugfabrik GmbH is based on the tried and tested solution certified to DIN 68 121 and EN 847-1 standards. Due to the use of 92 mm thick frame, 3 edge seals can be applied in the seal area, 2 of them placed in rabbets of the sash. Soundproof window can be obtained after employing proper glazing and two edge seals – the window will then comply with class 5 rating, i.e. 45-49 dB sound reduction. Moreover, when proper glazing with low thermal transmittance value (Ug 0.7) is provided, the resulting thermal conductivity can be 0.96 W/mK. What is important, argon-filled window units with Ug 0.7 are broadly available. At Ug 0.6, the overall thermal conductivity value can be reduced to Uw 0.89 W/mK. Energy-efficient windows of GOLD-plus IV 101 system The application of GOLD-plus system results in extremely low Uw values – owing to 3 edge seals, 25 mm glazing depth, and the use of widely available PU foam as a sound absorbing core. When frames are profiled, the only waste product is wood chips. Future disposal of the product will also be unproblematic. By employing proper sound absorbing insulation inserts along with soundproof glazing, noise reduction windows can be produced with class VI rating, which was previously possible only in the case of casement windows. Due to the composite structure of the GOLD-plus system, all wood species and colours can be used in the production process.
