The Joinery Network to showcase LIGNUM System at PWE

The Joinery Network will exhibit at the Professional Woodworking Expo 2026, taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 23–25 June 2026.

As the UK’s only dedicated tradeshow for woodworking and joinery professionals, the event brings together the latest machinery, tooling, software and materials, alongside live demonstrations, expert-led sessions and valuable networking opportunities. With its focus firmly on innovation and craftsmanship, the show continues to be a key date in the calendar for carpenters, joiners and installers looking to stay ahead in a competitive market.

At this year’s event, The Joinery Network will showcase its LIGNUM system, a fully certified timber window and door solution designed to help manufacturers produce high-performance products efficiently and compliantly. Visitors to the stand will be able to see Lignum windows being manufactured live in the demo zone twice daily throughout the exhibition.

Working in collaboration with Leitz and Markfield Woodworking Machinery, the demonstrations will highlight how integrated machinery, tooling and systems can streamline production while maintaining consistency and quality.

Andy Ball, Managing Director of The Joinery Network, said: “We’re excited to be exhibiting at the heart of an event that truly represents the future of woodworking in the UK. Demand for high-quality timber windows and doors continues to grow, and we support more than 50 UK joinery companies to meet that demand with confidence.

“The Professional Woodworking Expo gives us the perfect platform to show how Lignum works in practice, not just as a product, but as a complete system backed by technical expertise, compliance and real-world manufacturing support.”

The Joinery Network supports joinery manufacturers across the UK with proven designs, practical know-how and ongoing technical guidance, enabling businesses to scale production while meeting evolving regulatory and performance requirements.

Visitors are encouraged to attend the live demonstrations and speak with the team to learn how Lignum can support business growth and profitability.
