We are currently on the ground at ForMóbile 2026 in São Paulo, Brazil. It has been an incredible week so far. Latin America’s premier woodworking and furniture manufacturing trade fair is now in full swing. The energy shows no signs of slowing down.
The São Paulo Expo has been packed since the doors opened on June 30. Over 50,000 industry professionals from across the region have attended. Today, the crowds remain as dense as ever. Long lines stretch outside popular exhibitor booths. Live machinery demonstrations are drawing standing-room-only audiences. We have been navigating the halls with our cameras in hand. We are capturing the buzz of this vibrant marketplace. The on-site photos we are sharing give you a real sense of the scale. Aisles are filled with buyers, suppliers, and decision-makers. They are all eager to discover the latest innovations.
Automation and smart manufacturing are this year’s clear themes. For instance, we have seen high-speed CNC routers, intelligent edge banders, and IoT-enabled panel saws. The technology on display is truly impressive. Sustainability is another hot topic. Many exhibitors are highlighting energy-efficient solutions and eco-friendly materials. Brazilian manufacturers are showing strong interest in equipment that boosts productivity while reducing waste. We have confirmed this trend through countless conversations over the past few days.
