Deutsche Messe signed a cooperation agreement on July 8 with the local exhibition organiser LLC Interregional Exhibition Company-Ural (IEC-Ural) to stage Lesprom-Ural Professional in Yekaterinburg. This expands the German exhibition company?s global activities as an organiser of woodworking trade fairs. As a result of the partnership between Deutsche Messe RUS, a subsidiary of Deutsche Messe, and IEC-Ural, as from 2014 Lesprom-Ural Professional will move its former May staging slot to run from September 23 to 26, 2014 alongside Expomebel-Ural at the Yekaterinburg-Expo International Exhibition Centre. For international exhibitors Lesprom-Ural serves as a meeting place to initiate new business and strengthen existing business ties. At the same time as Lesprom-Ural Professional, the Eurasian Wood-Processing Forum will take place with the support of the State Forest Engineering University (USFEU) from Yekaterinburg.
