« Since Autumn 2009 we’ve felt signs of recovery among industry operators, particularly in softwood sawing. The price levels obtained for standing timber in last autumn’s sales in the LIMOUSIN clearly reflect the recovery. For MECAFLOR (who has a fleet of eleven fellers, ten forwarders, one skidder, one mechanical digger and two engine carriers), the forestry machines that were under-utilized in 2009 and transferred to the Landes windthrow, are now back to a more “normal” level of activity in the LIMOUSIN AUVERGNE regions, indicative of a recovery of operations. What’s more, Euroforest is an excellent opportunity to renew contacts with my suppliers as well as for me to see the manufacturers’ latest product developments. I’m betting that Euroforest, coming as it does at an opportune moment and with the network of contacts it offers, will help the industry to set the right pace, one that strengthens the synergies within the industry framework. » REGISTER WITHOUT DELAY ! A STRONG, TARGETED MEDIA PLAN In order to guarantee a high number of quality visitors, we have selected the industry’s main French media titles in which to communicate from February through to June: Le Bois International, Forêt de France, Forêt Enterprise, Forestier Privé en Rhône-Alpes, Bois Mag, L’Abeille and also Bioenergy International. A special Euroforest issue will be put together by the “Journal de la Mécanisation Forestière” at the start of June that will relay all the Show news. We will up-weight media communications via daily press and weekly regional press. For the fast growing wood energy sector, represented at the Show from harvesting though to utilization, Euroforest will draw on specialized reviews such as Bio Energy International, Granulénergie, Habitat Naturel, La Maison Ecologique, as well as all local, regional and agricultural press. Lastly, we will expand our media communications beyond French borders, particularly in Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Great Britain, and also, in close liaison with our partners, KWF, in German speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and Elmia Wood in Scandinavian countries.
