The International Woodworking Fair (IWF) remains the premier trade show for Cresswood Shredding Machinery, where we have proudly exhibited for the past 40 years. IWF gathers all the major players in the woodworking industry, from OEM manufacturers to representatives of world-class companies in millwork, cabinetry, sawmill, flooring, and furniture sectors. Attendees come to explore the latest innovations in woodworking equipment, including advanced wood recycling shredders and world-class industrial grinders. With over 1,000 unique exhibitors and more than 60,000 attendees over four days, IWF is North America’s largest woodworking tradeshow and conference, offering an awe-inspiring experience.

By exhibiting at IWF, Cresswood Shredding Machinery has the opportunity to tap the buying power of tens of thousands of global attendees, service current accounts, and find and convert prospects and sales leads – all to grow our business and brand. As the President of the company, my favorite part of the show is meeting and speaking with our current customers, dealers, and sales reps. We were able to meet and catch up with all of the regional project engineers at UFP, one of our key customers with manufacturing locations all over the lower 48. I was also fortunate to catch up with Mike Horst, Plant Manager at Preferred Hardwoods in Richfield, Wisconsin. He is looking to upgrade his wood recycling shredder as the business has grown, and he came to the show specifically for this reason.

It was fantastic to meet face-to-face with all of our woodworking dealers and regional sales reps. Kevin Corder from Heicor, Brad and Jessi Boulware from Boulware Equipment LLC, John Johnson and his team from J&G Machinery, the amazing team from Hermance, and Jon Morris of Northeast Machinery Sales were all in our booth. Our relationships with these professional sales teams are vital to the growth and brand outreach of our company, and they do an amazing job promoting Cresswood to their new and existing customers.

IWF brings you the largest collection of the woodworking industry’s newest technologies available anywhere, including hundreds of U.S. product introductions. From raw materials, supplies, and finishing accessories to woodworking and material processing machinery. Plus the newest products, trends, and solutions for wood recycling, plastic recycling, and other material processing sectors. You’ll find more new products, from more sources, in more selection and variety.

As industry leaders strive for greater efficiency and sustainability, the demand for American-made industrial shredders, including pallet recycling and wood recycling shredders, is rapidly increasing. Cresswood is at the forefront of this trend, providing world-class industrial shredders that address the evolving needs of the pallet recycling sector while championing both environmental stewardship and operational excellence.
