The spaces at the  Rho Fair Grounds mean that in 2012 Xylexpo will be offering industry professionals a completely new exhibition layout. The subdivision by product categories created veritable “theme tours” through the exhibition, structured to guarantee exhibitors a position in the right area and to ensure that visitors can effectively “read” the event and therefore find the information and establish the contacts they really need for their business.

Xylexpo  2012 will be based around four main themed areas:

• machinery for the forest industry, equipment and vehicles;
• machinery, accessories, and tools for the primary wood processing, technologies for the wood building industry, lumber, beams and semi-finished structural wood products;
• machinery, accessories, and tools working and finishing for solid wood, hardware and semi-finished wood products, supplementary finishing products for working solid wood;
• machinery, accessories, and tools for panel wood processing, surface treatment machines and products, hardware, supplementary finishing products for processing panels.
