The German manufacturer of woodworking machines plans to display its strength through the launch of 28 machines at the forthcoming Ligna+Hannover 2005
The German Weinig Group will unveil a long list of innovations at the Ligna+Hannover 2005, to be held next month (May 2 to 6). The woodworking machinery manufacturer has planned the launch of 28 machines and systems within its 3,000 sq m stand at the world's premier expo for the forest and wood industries to be held in Hanover, Germany
