CARREFOUR POINTS TO MORE STABILITY
Participants at the CIB reported a busy show and more positivity in the international trade. Mike Jeffree was there
France’s Carrefour International du Bois (CIB) has kept up its record of expanding and evolving each time it comes around. Exhibitors and visitors at the three-day May event in Nantes said it also further cemented its status as Europe’s leading all- timber trade show. According to the organisers, visitor numbers were down around 500 from 2022’s record 14,000. But exhibitors attributed the bumper total two years ago to the post- Covid bounce that boosted the timber market globally. They also pointed out that this year’s attendance was over 17% up on the previous all-time high in 2018 (the 2020 show was cancelled due to the pandemic). ►
