FROM THE EDITOR Opportunities abound Opportunities for partnerships, long-term collaborations and initiatives, and expansion are plenty as we are adjusting to the reopening borders and pandemic. It would be remiss for companies to not seize them when they come — after all, who knows when the next crisis will hit? And true enough, the wood and woodworking industry across the world is growing exponentially, taking this new normal in their stride. We see woodworking machinery manufacturers like Biesse expanding into Asia. Daniele Campetella, managing director of Biesse Group Asia and Biesse China, tells us why Biesse Group is expanding to Japan, with plans to establish their premises as early as Q4 2022 (p.34). Other woodworking companies like Argos Solutions is partnering with Kastamonu Entegre to support the latter in providing inspection systems for melaminefaced chipboard production (p.28). With the rising need and importance for remote working and automation, digital solutions are also in hot demand now. Coohom, a softwareas-a-service company that develops design software systems, recently launched its Kitchen & Bath feature, a 3D design visualisation platform to help designers and manufacturers present their ideas (p.26). The latest woodStore 8 by HOMAG aims to make the flow of information and materials in storage management more transparent, and therefore more efficient (p.36). Initiatives to tackle deforestation are also underway. With forests in the Lower Mekong region facing threats from overlogging and land conversion, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) teams up with the United Nations (UN) to make timber trade more sustainable in the region (p.20). Last but not least, in this issue, we are excited to feature a pool of products, from computerised numerical control (CNC) centres and computer-aided design (CAD) / computeraided manufacturing (CAM) software to hotmelt adhesives, that various companies will be featuring in BIFA Wood Vietnam (p.52). But the preview is only a glimpse — to have a full taste of what the exhibitors have to offer, we welcome everyone to join us at Binh Duong, Vietnam, this coming August.
