Tech-Together – Woodworking Competence.

Tech-Together has establised itself as a successful jointin-house exhibition format for the woodworking industry in OWL (East Westphalia-Lippe). From september 22-23, 2026 the participating companies will welcome you again in their showrooms and give exclusive insights into their new developments. The focus is on innovations, new technologies, machinery and plant concepts, as well as individual customer solutions. Visitors can explore several companies and showrooms across the region, gaining a comprehensive overview of the expertise and innovative strength of the OWL region.

You can find impressions of last year´s events in our gallery.

Tech-Together enters the fourth round.

Tech-Together was launched in 2021 as a joint initiative by dedicated machine and plant manufacturers along with industry partners from East Westphalia-Lippe (OWL). The initiative aims to bring woodworking technology together with interested customers.

The OWL region continues to offer combined machine, plant and supplier expertise in the woodworking sector. Renowned suppliers covering the entire machining process once again open their doors to interested clientele from throughout the world from 22.-23.09.2026. The customers are invited to tour the participating companies’ showrooms and form their own personal impressions of the innovations and technological advancements.

With their simultaneous in-house trade fairs, the participating companies offer interested customers an incentive to visit the OWL region and make contact with numerous companies. This concept has been very well received. Many of last year’s visitors took advantage of the opportunity to “kill many birds with one stone”.
