Last Thursday, August 15, Expo Madera 2024 began with a successful inaugural workshop held at the Entre Ríos Government Representation in Buenos Aires. This event, which marks the start of a series of activities that will culminate in the main exhibition in October, brought together prominent figures from the timber and construction sectors, confirming the growing interest in positioning the Concordia region as a hub for innovation and sustainable development in the industry.
The inaugural day featured the participation of the Secretary of Productive Development, Engineer Federico Schattenhofer; the Head of the Productive Hub Department, Mauricio Schvartzman; and Luis Alberto Kolarik, President of the Mixed Administration Entity of the Industrial Park (EMAPI).
In his speech, Schattenhofer highlighted the importance of Expo Madera as a showcase to exhibit the region's potential: “Concordia and its surroundings are consolidating as an epicenter of development for the timber industry, not only in the province but at a national level. Expo Madera 2024 not only promotes economic growth, but also encourages the adoption of sustainable practices and technological innovation in construction, key elements for the future of our region.”
During the workshop, attendees had the opportunity to participate in specialized workshops on sustainable architectural design and innovation in the use of wood, as well as discussion panels on the latest sector trends. The quality of the speakers and the possibility of interacting directly with them notably enriched the participants' experience.
The presentation was also attended by Engineer José Mouliá, representative of the Casa de Entre Ríos; Sabina Vetter, National Director of Forest Industrial Development; Jesús Pérez Mendoza, General Director of Domestic Trade of Entre Ríos; and Cecilia Lacava, Director of Industry and Industrial Parks of Entre Ríos. Everyone agreed on highlighting the relevance of these types of meetings for the strengthening of the timber industry in the region.
The closing of the event was led by Pedro Reyna, vice president of FAIMA and president of CAFYDMA, who underscored the importance of collaboration between the different actors in the sector to promote innovation and sustainable development in the Argentine timber industry.
