"I was surprised about the organization and the attendance of visitors during the time I visited Lisderevmash 2011.

I talked to several suppliers and the expectations for business at and after the show were good.

Especially after the big crisis in 2009 now everybody is looking for better business in the future and shows like your show helps to get in closer contact with potential customers.

The show was well organized - also our EUMABOIS display was in a very good position presented.

All in all a very good organized and well attended show.

All the best to you and your show for the future."

"LISDEREVMASH-2011: hit the top ten"

"During the opening day of the exhibition, we saw a lot of producers, talked to exhibitors with the aim to provide our readers with an exhibition summary, where we could highlight the most pressing issues and achievements of the industry...

... Bioenergy exhibition boom is quite symptomatic - it summarizes the important social and political transformations of recent years. This fact was affirmed by Mr. Bernhard Hoysler, sales manager of "Polytechnik Luft-und Feuerungstechnik": "We have received a lot of inquiries from interested buyers. I shall note that such equipment takes a lot of space and is not just sold at the exhibition. But we have a lot of inquiries, negotiations are underway and we believe that we will make first contracts till next year"...

... According to Andriy Pyvkin, technical consultant of "Kiilto-Klei", "woodworking industry in Ukraine, of course, will develop. The main factor here is the need in end users, those, who buy all these chairs and furniture".

Comments about the exhibition:

“Market Chooses only Professionals, and the Best Manufacturers were Present at the Exhibition”

“We do not have the right to make mistakes” – this statement was proved at the IX International specialized Trade Fair of machinery and equipment for forestry, woodworking and furniture industry “LISDEREVMASH’2009“ that was recently held in Kiev. This year, exhibition area was smaller than in previous years. Companies that managed to save their market positions took part in the exhibition.  Every single  visitor came to the exhibition to purchase equipment. So, against all concerns of organizers and all pessimistic expectations of participants the Exhibition was a great success.

In the course of 4 days, more than 5000 experts in furniture manufacturing, woodworking, construction and forestry have visited the exhibition. Manufacturers demonstrated full spectrum of machinery and equipment for forestry, primary and secondary wood processing, dust-exhaust systems, power stations, waste processing equipment, tools, materials and utilities.

LISDEREVMASH’2009 is not only the effective place for discussing  and solving different field problems, but also a good occasion to present  your company  to thousands of experts, a possibility to monitor the market  situation and to make prognosis for the future. In spite of the complicated economic situation, the Exhibition turned out well.  It is very important to save and develop scientific and technical basis as a constituent part of manufacturing process, promoting new investments in forestry, wood processing, woodworking and furniture industry”.

“LISDEREVMASH 2009” gives hope for the revival of current market situation

… This exhibition is an ideal index of current condition of the industry and its development in the nearest future…
…Taking into consideration the fact that the exhibition took place in the period of crisis, we can breathe with relief and state that, in spite of prognoses, the dynamics of woodworking and wood processing industries coming out of crisis is positive…
…In spite of crisis, a lot of foreign companies demonstrated their novelties that are new for Ukrainian market…
…“ISK Group” offered up-to-date ergonomic equipment for pellet manufacture with productivity 0,5 tons per hour…

According to "Holz-Zentralblatt" Magazine

“…It should be mentioned, that anxiety, connected with the first day of low activity was not justified: a lot of participants of the exhibition were satisfied with the quantity and quality of visitors as crisis forced business holders to visit the exhibition  personally in order to organize the future work of their enterprises in the most optimal way.  The round table that took place within the framework of the exhibition “Crisis in woodworking and furniture industry. Myth or reality?”, organized by “Mebelderevprom” Association, gave rise to active discussion of sore point by participants….”

“..Still, the exhibition fulfilled its task. It remains only to be enraptured by that titanic work that was carried out by organizers for that exhibition to take place…”

Aleksandr Pasechnik, director of “Buro-Mash”: “…Many people considered that the crisis, that will last 2 or 3 years, will completely prevent owners from financing their enterprises. They were mistaken! On the contrary, even if there are some investments that are not returned, new are already planned or even made in the current year. And that can be proved by exhibition’s attendance. If to judge it by the quantity of key audience I should say it is not worse than previous year’s exhibition.  But the quality of audience changed a bit.  If previous exhibitions were visited by average executives and technical specialists, then this year’s exhibition was visited mostly by top executives and private entrepreneurs because it is important for them to understand and to realize today's tendencies. And exhibition is a perfect place for that…”

A.I. Sabadyr, representative of the State Forestry Committee of Ukraine: “…Owing to the “The best operator of hydraulic manipulator – 2009” competition, forestry  specialists from all over Ukraine do not only learn about  industry novelties, but also can test their work with one's own hand…”
