SHOW REVIEW
In my opinion, Sylva Wood Expo has significant influence in the wood industry. It focuses on the wood materials market, especially for North America, where this is demand for high-end furniture. Therefore, it welcomes a lot of influential decision-makers. I think the exhibition can benefit from opening in Qingdao, where the consumption of North American hardwoods is higher. Even so, I am still satisfied with Sylva Wood. Xie Xue-dong (right) Shanghai Syphor Wood Products
“I think the organisers have done a great job with Sylva Wood Expo. They were able to bring suppliers and buyers in, let them sit down and talk with one another. And everything is clean and well put together. I think they did a great job.”

“Sylva Wood Expo was actually great. Honestly, I did not have big expectations, but the exhibition was excellent in my and my partners’ views.
“I feel that this show is as professional as it can get. Its scale is not as big as other shows, which means all the visitors here are from the right companies in this industry.
“Overall, the exhibition is good. We had lots of contacts of potential partners. Many Chinese customers that came down already know about [Siberia],
We had a lot of new contacts, with whom we can make good deals. Now we can export more to China and to other countries as well, since the exhibition is international. We will be sure to come back again.” Sergey Yakovlev Spokesperson for Belka, Rustradewood, Cherepovetsles, and Logarthouse
Only distributors and some big end users. The seminars are also well- organised, and we are grateful for the opportunity to speak there and showcase our company, about Russian wood processing. We will definitely come again.” Andrey Samolet Segezha Group
