Following the LIGNA show in Hanover, the Champeau team is inspired by the technological advances showcased at this benchmark event for the woodworking industry. This 2025 edition, in particular, highlighted innovations that could transform the way companies tailor their production to meet the specific requirements of their customers.

“What we saw at LIGNA opens up new possibilities for better meeting the needs of specialized niches, without compromising our operational efficiency,”

Pierre Champeau points out.

“Whether in terms of formats, quality or particular aesthetic criteria, the solutions unveiled enable greater flexibility in production processes.”

Among the key trends: the growing integration of artificial intelligence into wood defect sorting and analysis. Through a finer, automated reading of the material, AI promises to improve quality consistency while facilitating more informed production decisions. It could also pave the way for unprecedented levels of customization.

These observations are now feeding into Champeau’s strategic thinking about the future of its operations. LIGNA 2025 confirms that well-targeted innovation can be a powerful lever for combining performance, adaptability and customer satisfaction.
