Forest Fair 2008 will be held at the York sports grounds on the Old Lydenburg Road, Sabie from October 30 to November 1 2008. The show brings together a broad spectrum of suppliers of forestry, loading, timber transport, sawmilling and value-adding equipment whom will showcase their products and services with static and live demonstrations in three arenas.
The primary objective of the exhibition is
to raise the profile of the forestry industry and related enterprises. While some companies will use the event to liaise with existing and potential customers others will launch new products and services into the local market. The timber growers will also present their social, environmental and educational upliftment programs.
The response from the industry has been such that the organisers are predicting that this will be the best Forest Fair ever held in the small Mpumalangan forest town which lies at the heart of this multi-billion rand a year industry.
Forest Fair 2008 is the ideal forum for potential buyers to speak to all the suppliers under one roof and even conduct side-by-side comparisons of the different types of equipment available.
A number of competitions and challenges will also be held during the three day event.
