Increased interest in timber fair

A total of 418 exhibitors participated at this year’s Carrefour International du Bois, the timber fair held at Nantes from 29 to 31 May. About 20 per cent of the participants came from outside France. The foreign contingent among the 8 700 visitors amounted to almost 13 per cent. The figures for both exhibitors and visitors rose by 20 per cent over the previous fair held two years ago.
