Sylva Wood is billed as Asia’s only trade expo for sourcing wood materials. The recent 5th edition of Sylva Wood once again brought together the global timber network to trade and secure new avenues of growth in one of the world’s most exciting markets for wood.

Attendees were able to meet leading wood associations and professional buyers from the flooring, furniture, doors and windows, and interior furnishing sectors. Exhibitors also benefitted from connecting with designers and architects to understand the development of engineered wood structures in Asia.

Alongside the three-day expo, a full program of keynote speakers discussed market movements and how innovation can be harnessed for an increasingly competitive and challenging landscape, according to Sylva Wood’s website.
