TWO of the leading forestry trade fair organisers, Messe München and the DLG (German Agricultural Society), signed an agreement for closer cooperation on May 23. As part of the agreement, it was decided that the trade fair profile of Interforst 2026 will be supplemented by the DLG special show Systems & Components Forestry.

With the new special show, Interforst is expanding its exhibition and specialist programme to include technical components for the forestry sector. It benefits from the popularity and attractiveness of the DLG trade fair brand Systems & Components, which as part of Agritechnica has developed into a leading B2B marketplace for the international supplier industry for agricultural and forest technology in recent years.

Tobias Eichberg, DLG managing director exhibitions department, said: “New systems and advanced components are essential for boosting the efficiency of forest technology. 

“They form the technological foundation for creating industry innovations. At Interforst 2026, forest technology manufacturers will present the latest developments and solutions for greater efficiency, sustainability and performance.”

Ralf Dreeke, chairman of the Interforst advisory board and managing director of Wahlers Forsttechnik, said: “With this cooperation, Interforst and DLG are creating more opportunities for machine, technology and component manufacturers from the forestry sector not only to present themselves to a broad forestry trade audience, but also to inform themselves and exchange information in a very compact and ‘live’ manner.”
