Associations such as ASEMAD, AMALU, AHEC, French Timber Association, AIMMP Portugal, AEIM and Club Madera are driving group participations with a strong international focus and a specialist offering linked to joinery, the timber industry and industrialised construction.
València, 25 May 2026.- The upcoming edition of FIMMA + Maderalia 2026, taking place from 10 to 13 November at Feria Valencia, will reinforce its role as the major international meeting point for the timber, joinery, technology and materials industry. It will do so also through the growth of one of the most dynamic formats within the fair: the group participations promoted by business and sector associations.
In this regard, for this edition, the exhibition space linked to these collective areas has grown by more than 20% compared to the previous edition, a development that reflects the growing interest of associations and organisations in participating jointly and taking advantage of the business, visibility and networking opportunities the biennial offers.
FIMMA + Maderalia 2026 will bring together spaces promoted by representative organisations from different sectors and strategic markets, with a growing international dimension.
Among the main new additions is the Lucena timber cluster from Córdoba, driven by the Asociación de la Madera y Afines de Lucena (AMALU), which is joining FIMMA + Maderalia following experience gained through initiatives at other Feria Valencia events such as Feria Hàbitat València.
Also set to have a prominent presence is the space promoted by the Asociación de Empresarios de Carpintería y Afines de la Comunidad Valenciana (ASEMAD), which has already reserved close to 40% of the exhibition space in its pavilion and will once again become one of the main activity hubs of the biennial.
On the international front, the upcoming edition will strengthen its global profile with the return of prominent sector groups. Among them is AHEC (American Hardwood Export Council), the leading international body for the American hardwood industry, which will bring to FIMMA + Maderalia the main proposals and services from leading companies in the sector.
Likewise, the French sector will once again have a significant presence through the initiative promoted by French Timber Association, which will showcase the latest solutions and developments from French companies active in strategic areas such as timber construction.
Portugal, one of the main partners of the Spanish timber industry, will also reinforce its presence with an initiative driven by AIMMP, Associação das Indústrias de Madeira e Mobiliário de Portugal, consolidating FIMMA + Maderalia as a platform for exports and the opening of new markets.
For its part, AEIM, Asociación Española del Comercio e Industria de la Madera, will once again participate actively, organising both exhibition spaces and professional activities and events aimed at the sector.
Joining them once again will be Club Madera, a community of companies and professionals focused on innovation, technological development and training in timber construction. Following experiences such as Maderaula, this edition will see it take a prominent place within the new Industrialised Construction Show at FIMMA + Maderalia.
Beyond their exhibition presence, these collective spaces have become genuine activity hubs within the fair. Around them, professional meetings, promotional activities and training events are held that help reinforce the visibility of participating companies and showcase the potential of their respective sectors and regions.
The growth of these initiatives also demonstrates the ability of FIMMA + Maderalia to drive shared projects and foster connections between companies, associations and international markets — a formula that gains weight edition after edition within the fair’s offering.
