LIGNA 2025 marks a particularly significant event for Cefla, celebrating half a century of continuous participation as an exhibitor. A milestone that reinforces the company’s historic connection with one of the world’s key events for the woodworking industry.
In today’s complex and fast-changing global economic landscape, LIGNA continues to be a privileged platform to share visions, network, and present tangible solutions.
At LIGNA 2025, Cefla Finishing will unveil a selection of technological innovations designed to meet the evolving demands of a rapidly changing market. In a context where speed, reliability and sustainable processes are key, Cefla will showcase solutions grounded in seven strategic values that underpin the company’s product development roadmap: sustainability, productivity, flexibility, simplicity, consistency, reactivity and accuracy.
These values are not just guiding principles – they translate into real, measurable benefits for professionals in the industry: technologies that enhance efficiency, reduce waste, simplify management, and ensure consistent quality. From low-impact coating solutions to intelligent process control systems, fast colour-change technologies and extensive customisation capabilities, each innovation highlights Cefla’s ongoing commitment to a smarter, more responsible and competitive future.
The seven strategic values will be represented through seven thematic areas within Cefla’s stand, each devoted to a key benefit and the technology that enables it. An experiential journey to witness the transformations reshaping industrial wood finishing. With over 60 years of experience and the broadest portfolio of finishing technologies across multiple sectors, Cefla Finishing continues to build tailor-made solutions that combine tangible results with strategic vision and consistent support. At LIGNA 2025, this approach will be fully embodied in the stand’s message: “everything, everywhere” – providing solutions wherever needed, for any finishing requirement.
◆ SUSTAINABILITY◆ Technology: UV iCure Traditional curing ovens are becoming obsolete. With mercury lamp bans imminent, Cefla’s mercury-free ovens set a new benchmark as the most sustainable curing technology ever developed.
◆ PRODUCTIVITY◆ Technology: Smartedge Agile Managing panels of varying thickness has long been a bottleneck in wood processing. Smartedge Agile revolutionises edge coating with a system that automatically adapts to any panel, without stoppages.
◆ FLEXIBILITY◆ Technology: Easy FCS Colour changes typically cost up to 5 minutes of productivity. Fast Colour Switch enables colour changes in just 30 seconds, dramatically cutting paint waste and downtime.
◆ SIMPLICITY◆ Technology: T-Mate Coating software is often overly complex. With T-Mate, just a few taps are all it takes to optimise coating recipes – no programming skills required.
◆ CONSISTENCY◆ Technology: Smartcoater Pro Poor calibration, process interruptions, irregular lacquer consumption. Smartcoater Pro ensures top quality, minimal waste, consistent performance and predictable costs.
◆ REACTIVITY◆ Technology: J-Print MP In a market requiring ever-faster adaptability, integrated digital printing provides a turnkey response. J-Print MP works on any substrate, supports batch-one production, and eliminates the need for stockpiling.
◆ ACCURACY◆ Technology: Düspohl technologies For short runs and ever-changing trends, high-tech automation from Düspohl – Cefla’s brand for lamination and profile wrapping – ensures reduced set-up times and minimal waste, even for small batches.
On the opening day, May 26 from 11:00 to 12:00, Cefla Finishing will host the official LIGNA 2025 Press Tour at its stand. Journalists attending will be able to explore the seven thematic areas, discover the latest technologies up close, and see tangible results in action. Cefla’s experts will be available to provide technical insights, answer questions, and explain application scenarios. A light refreshment will be offered at the end of the tour.
The press tour is just one of many events planned: throughout the entire exhibition, Cefla Finishing will animate its Speaker Corner with a rich program of themed talks and presentations hosted by partners and industry specialists. A unique opportunity to dive deep into current challenges and future trends in an environment of open discussion and international networking.
With its participation in LIGNA 2025, Cefla Finishing reiterates its dedication to a wood industry that is increasingly sustainable, efficient and technologically advanced.
