Attendees will see a live LIGNUM demonstration by The Joinery Network’s Owen Dare, who will showcase how to manufacture a sash window efficiently using a Felder spindle moulder. Teknos specialists will also provide a detailed paint application demonstration, offering step-by-step guidance on achieving the perfect finish for joinery products.

Industry experts will be on hand to discuss ways to build more profit into your products, while Teknos will outline how its solutions and services can help future-proof businesses. Finishing solutions experts from Hi-Tec Spray will be available to answer questions, and The Joinery Network Expert Marketplace will bring together key professionals and suppliers from across the sector.
