Forest Products EXPO 2025 is Less Than 1 Month Away
As of today, July 8, 2025, we are 29 days away from opening the doors to the 38th Forest Products Machinery & Equipment EXPO in Nashville from August 6-8.
Since 1950, EXPO has provided the place for both hardwood and softwood sawmillers to gather, celebrate new technology, network, and learn about the industry’s latest products.
The three-day biennial tradeshow will provide you with solutions for nearly every stage of wood manufacturing – and the 2025 edition will be one of the best yet with:
- 230+ exhibitors from
- 34 states and 9 countries
- Showcasing products from 184 different categories
- Across a sold-out show floor with more than 61,000 square feet
You can also meet with more than 50 first-time EXPO exhibitors this year, so come out and meet some new faces and learn about their offerings.
