Carpentry Expo: At the Forefront of Australian Carpentry

Carpentry Australia and Prime Creative Media are excited to announce the launch of Carpentry Expo, the only dedicated expo for the Carpentry industry in Australia.   

 

Carpentry Expo will be a vital platform for businesses looking to showcase and sell their tools, services, and solutions to a highly engaged, targeted audience, while also offering carpenters valuable opportunities to expand their skills and grow their expertise.  

The carpentry industry and chippies are thriving in Australia, experiencing significant growth due to the ongoing demand for both residential and commercial projects.

In 2024, Australia saw the number of active carpenters rise to 139,900, with nearly a third of them operating as self-employed contractors.   

“Carpentry Expo will bring together generations of carpenters, celebrating the strength, skill, and commitment that shape a better Australia—empowering our members, inspiring the community, and providing a forward-looking boost for our industry.” Said Nathan Quinn from Carpentry Australia. 

 

Carpentry Expo will be co-located with Converge and No-Dig Down Under, two major industrial trade shows focused on municipal works, civil construction, and trenchless technology, providing attendees access to all three shows.
