WOOD ENERGY EXPO 2013
SALON BOIS ENERGIE 2013
The Bois Energie Expo, together with Biogaz Europe this year, was
organised for the first time in Western France – a double event keenly
anticipated by the 500 French and international exhibitors. Nantes,
the European Green Capital for 2013, has held true. With 13000
visitors including 7 000 qualified professionals and 6 000 general
public visitors who came in large numbers with concrete projects, the
success was there.
The Bois Energie Expo is unique in that it gathers each year in the same venue and at the same time
the entire wood energy chain, from “forest to flame”. 376 European suppliers from forestry equipment,
services, wood fuels and wood heating devices came to present an offering which
is even broader, more inventive and more accessible to everyone. Be it domestic,
An evermore influential event.
industrial or local authorities oriented, the heat or CHP production from wood
has clearly met its market in Nantes.
Manufacturers, wholesalers,
distributors : professional contacts
beyond expectations
The exhibitors confirmed two positive days reserved for Professionals on the
Bois Energie Expo.
For both existing and new exhibitors, the objective was to make them known or to
consolidate their position in Western France. For the Italian company Ravelli (stoves), which conducts
half of its turnover abroad, including 25% in France, it was necessary to find outlets through regional
distributors and resellers, in order to affirm its brand in the region. The objective was the same for
the Belgian company Skia Design (stoves), which was present for the first time on the exhibition.
“Coming to Nantes was important to us, because for the moment we
are mostly distributed in Northern France and we want to conquer
the rest of the country. We did not know if Western France would be
receptive. Our fears have quickly vanished, and we leave the expo with
more reseller demands than we will be able to meet; we will need to be
selective”. The doubt is also removed for the company Transmanut
(supply equipment), which won the Grand Prix of the Innovation
Competition organized within the framework of the Bois Energie
Expo (wood fuel and supply category): “We rapidly realized that
Western France is a region with potential”.

The General Public in demand of information
for future projects
Personal contact with the
sector’s professionals always
provides a rich source of
information for the visitors.
During the weekend for the General Public, exhibitors and organisers saw very few ”onlookers”
amongst the 6 000 visitors. The information stands (France Bois Forêt, Atlanbois, Ademe) were
crowded. They provided advise to visitors
who were looking for heating solutions or
wanted to realise a project. “We are used to
exhibiting at Bois Energie Expo. This year, we
have noticed the interest for wood energy from
everywhere in France”, according to Self Climat
Morvan (pellet and wood boilers, cookers).
For Fondis-Wodtke, a first time exhibitor
and which gathered nearly 80 professional
contacts and even more qualified general
public contacts, the crowd on the stand and
in the alleys could almost justify one more day
for the general public… “We have spoken with
people who came sometimes from far away, like
Normandy, Paris and even Biarritz. The concept
is successful, the demand is here, the public is
ready and looks for quality information. We
even had to increase our staff on the stand for
the weekend.”

What the Exhibitors say
Forestry and Wood fuels
Nidal (France)
At first we were doubtful about the location in Western France for the Bois Energie
2013, but we have been pleasantly surprised with the success of this exhibition. We
are present at every edition and the fact that it
changes venue every year allows us to touch a
greater number of potential clients. Thank you
for your serious work!
Saelen Energie (France)
For our first exhibition in the sector, we have
been very well welcomed and attended to by
the organisers. We really appreciated to meet
all the actors, partners or competitors in our
domain gathered
in one place,
which attracts a
lot of qualified visitors.
Westtech (Autriche)
Once more, Westtech attended the Bois
Energie in Nantes. Many visitors were present to
gather information. Wood splitting demonstrations
attracted a lot of public. We have noted a strong
presence of visitors from Brittany and Normandy, as
well as people from Isère, Atlantic Pyrenees and even from the Marseilles region!
This exhibition is the defining meeting point of the wood energy sector!
Local Authorities and Industry
Bois Négoce Energie (France)
Very satisfied by the quality (and the quantity)
of the contacts; a lot of dynamism.
Machines-Besançon (France)
Good exhibition : I will be back next year.

Domestic Heating

Fireplaces…)
Actuel Services (Luxembourg) – distributor of Jidé, Cera design, Brunner,
Color and Fire
The Salon Bois Energie 2013 has been a real success
for our company. The interest generated by the brands
that we are distributing has been significant from the
professionals as well as from the general public. We
have taken many orders from professional clients and
agreements have been set with new resellers in regions
where we were little or not at all represented until now.
Our local distributors have had an incredible number
of contacts… the choice of Nantes for this 2013 edition
was a wise one!

Category 1:
Wood fuel supply chain
Grand Prize – Transmanut (in partnership with Legras Industrie) - FMA-S (Commercialised)
Articulated lorry with scraper floor and a blower. Allows delivery of humid wood chips for large
volumes, allowing the construction of silos at street-level and thus making significant savings on civil
