Ukrainian Measuring Instrument Manufacturer METRINCO Participated in the Woodworking 2026 Exhibition

From June 10 to June 12, 2026, the international specialized exhibition “Woodworking 2026” took place in Lviv at the Arena Lviv exhibition venue. The event is one of the key industry gatherings for representatives of Ukraine’s woodworking, furniture manufacturing, and forestry sectors.

Ukrainian measuring instrument manufacturer METRINCO participated in the exhibition, showcasing its own range of professional wood moisture meters as well as solutions for measuring the moisture content of veneer, sawdust, wood chips, and building materials. Visitors to the stand had the opportunity to explore both the company’s latest developments and well-established products already widely used by Ukrainian manufacturers.

New Products and Key Solutions by METRINCO

One of the key premieres at the exhibition was the METRINCO M151SD, a professional moisture meter designed for measuring the moisture content of sawdust and wood chips, making it ideal for woodworking companies, pellet manufacturers, and other bulk material applications.

Another highlight was the METRINCO M121V, a specialized veneer moisture meter developed for non-destructive moisture measurement of thin wooden materials.

Particular attention from visitors was attracted by the METRINCO M120W. Thanks to its high measurement speed, ease of use, and non-destructive operating principle, this model is gradually becoming one of the most popular rapid moisture meters for wood and building materials in Ukraine.

Solutions for Different Measurement Depths

METRINCO also demonstrated a range of dielectric moisture meters with different scanning depths, allowing users to select the optimal instrument depending on the material type and production requirements:

For applications requiring maximum precision, the company showcased the professional pin-type moisture meters METRINCO M140W and METRINCO M141W, designed for quality control of timber, kiln drying processes, and high-end wood production.

Ukrainian Engineering Successfully Reaches International Markets

One of the strongest indicators of the quality of METRINCO products is their growing international presence. In particular, the METRINCO M120W wood moisture meter has obtained CE marking, confirming its compliance with European safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

Today, METRINCO instruments are used not only by Ukrainian woodworking companies but are also exported to international markets, demonstrating that Ukrainian-made measuring instruments can successfully compete globally in terms of quality, performance, and reliability.

Current Trends in the Woodworking Industry

During discussions with manufacturers and visitors, the METRINCO team identified several important trends shaping today’s woodworking industry.

First, as raw material quality becomes less consistent while the value of finished wood products continues to increase, manufacturers are placing greater emphasis on moisture control throughout the entire production process—from incoming material inspection to drying, machining, gluing, storage, and final shipment.

Second, new materials such as thermally modified wood are becoming increasingly common. These materials exhibit significantly different moisture behavior and require specialized measurement approaches due to their unique drying and re-absorption characteristics.

Third, more and more manufacturers are implementing advanced wood finger-jointing and gluing technologies. Such processes demand extremely accurate moisture measurements, since even small deviations may affect bond strength and long-term product durability.

Fourth, labor shortages are driving companies toward automation and enhanced quality control systems. Reliable moisture measurement helps reduce waste, minimize defects, optimize production efficiency, and lower labor costs.
