New Dutch Joinery Alliance to target UK market and promote joinery future
Six technology suppliers to the joinery sector have formed the Dutch Joinery Alliance (DJA) to target the UK market and promote the future of joinery on the international stage.
Under the shared DJA banner, the companies will present their innovations to the international market and help support customers in achieving faster lead times, higher output and consistent, high quality. The official launch of DJA takes place at the Professional Woodworking Expo in Birmingham (UK), 23 to 25 June 2026. The DJA brings together specialists from across a large part of the joinery supply chain: Anker Stuy Coatings (paints and coatings), Bos Machines (CNC machining centres), Duivestein Techniek (automation and handling), Ekosiet (sill systems), Mill Panel (wooden door blanks), and Trivec (surface treatment).
“The DJA focuses on two core objectives,” Representatives of the Dutch Joinery Alliance are looking forward to their new initiative the group said.
“First: leveraging each other’s networks and market positions to introduce international customers to the allied companies. Second: promoting the future of joinery on the international stage. “The Dutch joinery industry is known for its high quality and advanced levels of automation. Themes such as sustainability, door and window longevity and labour shortages play an increasingly important role across Europe. The DJA members offer
practical solutions to these challenges.” As well as exhibiting at the Professional
Woodworking Expo, a trade visit to the suppliers in the Netherlands will follow, giving international contacts an opportunity to see the DJA solutions in practice at joinery manufacturers and DJA member facilities. JJ Smith Woodworking Machinery is the local UK dealer for the machine solutions of the DJA group, while Anker Stuy Coatings operates a branch in Peterborough.
Wood recycling in spotlight
The wood-based panels sector’s progress in advanced wood recycling was at the centre of a European conference in Brussels in which circularity was highlighted as an increasingly important focus. The EcoReFibre Policy Conference in Brussels on March 25, in which over 70 experts participated, demonstrated wood recycling for material use as a prime showcase of circularity in European industry, where panel producers leverage digital technology to boost new markets.

Potential from Wood Waste” - brought together stakeholders from policy, industry and civil society in Brussels, hosted by the European Panel Federation (EPF) and the InnovaWood network, alongside the EcoReFibre consortium. Discussions included The EU’s Bioeconomy Strategy and the upcoming Circular Economy Act as fostering higher resilience and competitive growth while lowering emissions, by creating the right policy framework for investments, research and innovation in the wood waste sector.
The conference presented the results of the EU EcoReFibre project and offered a platform to discuss and to enhance jointly the recommendations of the EcoReFibre Policy Roadmap supporting wood, circular economy and biobased sectors.
EcoReFibre develops smart sorting and processing technologies to recycle post-consumer fibreboard back into fibreboards and novel building products, closing the material loop and reducing dependence on virgin wood. The main purpose is to facilitate wider adoption and mainstreaming of innovative circular technologies and business models for wood waste valorisation, and scale them in different regional and national contexts.
