The LIGNA 2025 in Hanover is the perfect place for IMA Schelling to present their unique fusion of tradition and innovation. From 26 up to 30 May 2025 visitors have the opportunity to experience up close how proven machine quality meets pioneering digital future technologies.

At LIGNA 2025 in Hannover, IMA Schelling, a leading plant manufacturer, is boldly challenging the trade-off between tradition and progress with one simple question: “Why choose when both are possible?” With the theme “Keep Tradition + Embrace Future,” the East Westphalian company is celebrating not only its participation at the world’s leading woodworking trade fair but also a major milestone—its 10th anniversary since the merger of IMA Klessmann and Schelling Anlagenbau in 2015.

In a dramatic dual-world setup, the company is offering an immersive experience that bridges the past and the future of woodworking. The Traditional World showcases IMA Schelling’s unmatched mechanical engineering heritage through precision-built machines and intricate 3D miniatures. A cozy networking lounge complements the display, emphasizing craftsmanship and connection.

Just steps away, the World of Innovation propels visitors into the digital era. Automation, Industry 5.0, robotics, and AI-driven solutions take center stage, reinforcing the company’s belief in synergy over separation. From predictive maintenance to human-machine collaboration, IMA Schelling demonstrates how tradition and technology can co-exist—and thrive.

Visitors are invited not just to watch but to interact. The company’s machine control systems can be tested hands-on, offering a tangible feel of its powerful and intuitive interface. And for a truly unforgettable moment, the IMA Schelling Cinema delivers a cinematic story of trust, innovation, and vision—a tribute to customers, partners, and the journey ahead.

With a decade of innovation behind it, IMA Schelling's LIGNA 2025 presence is more than a showcase—it’s a statement. A bold testament to how woodworking’s future can be smart, soulful, and deeply human.
