Quebec’s industrial woodworking event, Salon Industriel du Bois Ouvre. will be held Oct. 18-19, 2012 at Forzani Place in Laval.
SIBO 2012 will offer the largest gathering place for Quebec woodworking professionals to connect with each other and with key manufacturers and suppliers of equipment, computer software, hardware, raw materials and more.
The biennial event is organized by Vance Communications Canada, the company that also hosted this year’s Woodworking Machinery & Supply Expo (WMS) in Toronto. SIBO 2008 attracted more than 4,600 woodworking professionals and industry suppliers.
“It’s been a long four years since SIBO was last held and we’re excited that the Quebec economy and wood products industry has responded with such a strong comeback,” said Steve Reiss, vice president of Vance Communications Canada. “We’re bringing SIBO back to Forzani Place in Laval, site of the 2008 show, because it is close to downtown Montreal and its airport for servicing out-of-town attendees and exhibitors but without the traffic headaches of being downtown.”
A new website is being developed for SIBO. It will include regularly updated news, exhibitor products, photos and registration information.
