LINGA 2025: A Leitz Tooling Australia Perspective

LIGNA 2025 reaffirmed its position as the world’s leading trade fair for woodworking and wood processing technology, and for Leitz Tooling Australia, it was a showcase of global innovation, powerful connections, and emerging trends that will shape the future of manufacturing.

 

Representing Leitz Tooling Systems ANZ, Managing Director Sam Czyczelis returned from the event energised and inspired.

“The exhibition halls were buzzing from 9:00am to 6:00pm without pause,” said Sam. “The interest was constant—technical conversations, product insights, and real excitement about where our industry is heading.”

 

Innovation in Woodworking Tooling on a Global Stage

Attending LIGNA 2025 provided more than just a window into new technologies—it was a front-row seat to a rapidly transforming industry.

Automation and AI-powered solutions dominated the show floor.

Sustainability and tool life efficiency were key themes across product categories.

Manufacturers are demanding faster, smarter, and more cost-effective tooling systems—and Leitz is answering that call.

“AI and software integration aren't coming 'someday', they're already here,” Sam noted. “And if you're not already adapting, it's time to catch up. This wave is only gaining speed.”

 

Global Collaboration, Local Impact

Each day at LIGNA, over 70 Leitz team members from across the globe worked together assisting customers, sharing knowledge, and reinforcing why Leitz is a global leader in precision tooling systems.

“The camaraderie and collaboration with our international colleagues was a huge highlight,” Sam said. “It’s in these face-to-face moments that ideas are sparked, best practices are shared, and our customers benefit from a truly global mindset.”

The experience solidified Leitz Australia’s commitment to bringing world-class solutions home to Australian cabinet makers, kitchen suppliers, and woodworking manufacturers.
