Held for the first time in 1957, Holz is Switzerland's oldest trade fair. It takes place every three years in Basel and thus underlines the tradition and passion for the natural material among the professionals in the woodworking industry. The trade public can look forward not only to new products and innovations, but also to exciting specialist forums and a colourful accompanying programme. The Swiss Carpentry Championships will take place, the Innovation Prize will be awarded and the young carpenter star will be chosen.
