SYLVA WOOD - Continued from page 12 won out over steel on strength to weight ratio for a geodesic atrium glass roof, following tests by one of the world’s leading engineers. Sylva Wood was an event for all professionals in the wood sector. According to some visitors, participation had been prompted by chat through social media that this was the show to visit. In other cases it was the exhibitors who had attracted their existing customers. David May eld of May eld Lumber Co., of McMinnville, TN, said that he had met so many of his customers at Sylva Wood that it would have taken a month to visit them all in China. All American hardwood exhibitors surveyed said they would be back. Speaking on behalf of the 38 American hardwood exhibitors at the AHEC pavilion and several others independently located, AHEC Regional Director John Chan said, “Sylva Wood is now well established as the wood show in China.” The relevance of this is that Chinese imports of U.S. hardwoods now exceed imports from all other global markets combined. Working with AHEC were the American Walnut Manufacturers Association and the Hardwood States Export Group. The next Sylva Wood Expo in Shanghai is set for June 25-27, 2018.
