Timber grows for FIT
21st August 2018

Timber brands are showing a growing interest in the FIT Show, say organisers, with a number of major players already signed up for 2019.

Among them are Bereco, West-Port and Cardinal Windows, Estonian manufacturer Viking Windows AS and Inwido – which is made up of CWG Choices, Allan Bros and Jack Brunsdon & Son – and machinery supplier Felder and timber coating solutions provider Teknos.

The FIT Show has also received support from the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) and The Wood Window Alliance (WWA), with both bodies set to have a presence at the event.

Event director Nickie West said: “The introduction of timber to FIT Show is a clear sign of our intentions to broaden the appeal of the show to new audiences, with timber serving as a material to inspire connections from, amongst others, the fit out, joinery, heritage and procurement sectors.

“It was a natural move for us to include a wider scope for timber to be incorporated within FIT Show, and will serve as a further mechanism to attract specifiers who have shown a clear demand for this material.”

FIT Show 2019 will take place at the NEC Birmingham from 21st to 23rd May and will feature up to 300 exhibitors from across the window, door, conservatory and glass industry. New features for 2019 include the addition of Visit Glass which will be dedicated to the flat glass sector and include both products and machinery.
