SCM will return to IWF 2026 with a comprehensive showcase of technologies, automation solutions, software and digital services, reaffirming its long-term commitment to the North American market and its evolving manufacturing needs.
With an exhibition area spanning nearly 25,000 square feet, the Group will present one of the industry's most extensive portfolios for woodworking manufacturers, while highlighting its ongoing investments in innovation, customer proximity and local capabilities to support companies throughout their digital and automation journey.
IWF 2026 will provide the opportunity to find out SCM’s strategic initiatives to further strengthen customer support, service capabilities and commercial coverage across North America. As part of this strategy, SCM is reinforcing its regional organization with a new leadership structure: Marco Patriarchi taking responsibility as regional executive for the North American market (U.S., Mexico, Canada), while Tiago Costa leading the U.S. market as CEO USA.
This evolution builds on the transformation program implemented over the past 18 months under Tiago Costa’s leadership in the United States. During this period, SCM has significantly strengthened both its service and commercial organizations through targeted investments aimed at improving responsiveness, technical coverage and customer support.
Key initiatives have included the expansion of local technical resources in strategic territories, the introduction of dedicated customer support roles for major accounts and the integration of service and spare parts operations into a more streamlined and customer-focused organization.
At the same time, SCM is reinforcing its commercial presence in high-potential areas through additional sales resources, a more targeted market development strategy and closer collaboration with its distribution network.
Visitors to the SCM booth (B6953 - A9614) will discover a full lineup of automated systems, CNC machining centers, edgebanding, sanding, pressing, finishing and joinery solutions, together with a dedicated focus on timber construction as part of the Mass Timber & Pre-Fab Showcase.
Key highlights of the exhibition will include: SCM Lean Cell The SCM Lean Cell is the ideal entry-level solution for manufacturers seeking high-speed nesting combined with integrated downstream operations. Designed to deliver maximum efficiency with a minimal footprint, it combines horizontal drilling, doweling, edgebanding, and intelligent sorting, all powered by robotic handling. It starts before the first cut. The FLX Q is a compact material handling solution that keeps the cell continuously fed through a constant, autonomous feeding cadence.
SCM will also present the North American premiere of Accord 500 Edge, its new all-round CNC machining center combining advanced machining and edgebanding technologies in a single, flexible solution. The solution has also been selected as a finalist for the IWF 2026 Challengers Distinguished Achievement Award, thanks to its ability to deliver total flexibility in one solution, integrating multiple production capabilities within a single machining center.
SCM will also participate in the Mass Timber & Pre-Fab Showcase, presenting dedicated technologies for the high-precision machining of CLT, glulam and other mass timber structural elements.
As part of SCM’s exhibition space, Superfici America will showcase a range of innovative finishing solutions designed to enhance productivity, quality, and process efficiency.
Visitors will experience live demonstrations of the Mini Plus spray system while finding out how advanced spray technology can help manufacturers achieve exceptional finishing results while maintaining operational flexibility.
