statements from the industry

For La Nordica-Extraflame, WORLD OF FIREPLACES is a strategically important event and an opportunity for exchange among the professionals of our industry. With our wide range of wood-burning, pellet and electric stoves, we see the trade fair as the ideal place for professional dialogue with dealers and partners from across Europe. We are looking forward to the event with great anticipation.

Thermorossi is proud to have been part of WORLD OF FIREPLACES since its first edition. Over the years, the trade fair has established itself as an important international meeting point for the heating industry, bringing together manufacturers, partners and professionals from across Europe and beyond. For us, it is much more than a trade fair: it is an opportunity to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas and present innovations that respond to the evolving needs of the market. We are pleased to be part of this development and hope to contribute to the continued growth and international success of WORLD OF FIREPLACES in the years ahead.

For us, WORLD OF FIREPLACES is a key platform for strengthening our dialogue with the industry and presenting our latest developments – from modern manufacturing processes to certified system solutions for new builds and renovations – to an international audience of trade professionals. We look forward to face-to-face discussions with partners from the retail and craft sectors.

As a traditional ceramics manufacturer with over 500 years of experience in producing high-quality heat storage ceramics, we are delighted to be part of WORLD OF FIREPLACES in 2027. The trade fair is a valuable platform for us to present our latest ceramic design solutions to an international audience of experts and to deepen our exchange with the industry.

In 2025, Exodraft presented its fine dust particle separators and intelligent chimney draught controls at WORLD OF FIREPLACES, true to its motto ‘Preserve the environment, protect health and enjoy fire consciously’. Participation in the upcoming trade fair is also confirmed!

For more than 25 years, we at Westbo of Sweden have been offering robust, efficient and timelessly modern fireplaces in traditional Swedish design. We are already looking forward to the next WORLD OF FIREPLACES!

For us at British Fires, this event was an exceptional opportunity to showcase our innovative electric fires to a global audience. Connecting with international visitors allows us to share our passion for design, quality and environmentally conscious heating solutions. We are already looking forward to the next WORLD OF FIREPLACES in 2027.

WORLD OF FIREPLACES has become a unique meeting place for the industry. We will be back again in 2027 and look forward to exciting discussions with the industry.

‘Only if combustion systems are constantly developed further and thus become more efficient and lower in emissions can they continue to make their important contribution as a renewable source of space heating in the future. To achieve this, combustion systems must become robust against operating errors. User training should play a central role alongside technical development.’

According to the state of the art, domestic wood-firing systems with the lowest pollutant emissions are equipped with air control, operating data recording and exhaust gas cleaning such as catalytic converters and dust separators. Firewood consumption should also be reduced by combining it with other renewable energies.

Heat from wood is reliable and sustainable. Only if we use this technology without ideology as part of a sensible overall strategy will we as a society be able to master the major challenges of our time. The stove, whether an industrially made wood-burning stove or a handcrafted tiled stove, is part of an innovative heating concept that will continue to provide Germany with a secure supply in the coming years. We must stand up for this together and also find answers to the questions posed to us by politics and society. The industry must present itself just as innovatively as our products are. We cordially invite you to be part of this movement.

As regenerative and climate-friendly heat sources, wood-burning fireplaces avoid CO2 emissions and, with logs, pellets or wood chips as fuel, represent sensible alternatives to existing fossil heating systems or a supplement to an existing heating system. Modern biomass systems are low in pollutants and achieve efficiencies of over 90%. Boilers with condensing technology can achieve even higher efficiencies. We expect interesting presentations and discussions at WORLD OF FIREPLACES on the topics of climate protection, emission control and affordable heat energy. The operational and fire safety of heat generators must not be neglected either and will be a topic at the Fireplace HUB. The chimney sweep trade is in favour of a heating market that is open to all technologies and a climate-friendly energy mix that also makes sense from an economic point of view. We hope for a discussion at WORLD OF FIREPLACES that is as free of ideology as possible and will take part in the professional dialogue with manufacturers, associations, politicians and trade visitors on the subject of heat.

We are a traditional company founded in 1887 and produce a wide range of flue pipes and accessories. By combining many years of experience with new knowledge, we have developed outstanding expertise. WORLD OF FIREPLACES is the perfect platform to present our high-quality products and our expertise to a specialist audience.

The trade fair also gives us the opportunity to showcase the benefits of our product lines to interested dealers and OEM partners and to explore mutually beneficial collaborations.

Fireplaces are our core competence. We manufacture everything to do with fireplaces, from simple ventilation grilles to high-quality stove systems made of ceramic or natural stone. WORLD OF FIREPLACES is therefore the perfect platform to present our products to a trade audience.

WORLD OF FIREPLACES brings together the best of two worlds in an impressive way: an exciting lecture programme with real impetus for the industry – and an exhibitor environment that creates space for encounters, product presentations and professional exchange. For LEDA, this trade fair is exactly the right format: concentrated, high-quality and with a clear focus on the topics that move our industry. In an increasingly dynamic market environment, events like this are more valuable than ever for putting developments into context and providing orientation. We look forward to seeing you again in 2027 – with new ideas in our luggage.

wodtke focuses on hybrid system technology. As a pellet pioneer and one of the leading manufacturers of innovative and award-winning pellet stoves, wodtke today offers pioneering solutions for heating and cosy warmth in the home. The ideal combination in a hybrid heating system – a heat pump and a water-bearing wodtke pellet stove for connection to the central heating system. The base load is supplied by the heat pump, while the water-bearing pellet stove provides a variable part – for heating with the renewable and regionally available fuel wood pellets. Heating the future: renewable energies and cosy warmth in the home. We are looking forward to WORLD OF FIREPLACES 2027 with excitement.

After the second WORLD OF FIREPLACES, the trade fair has established itself as the centre of the industry in Europe. At the exhibitors' stands, visitors received a wealth of information on the latest trends, and at the Fireplace HUB background information on legal regulations, technical solutions and the future of individual fireplaces. Not forgetting hybrid heat, where wood-burning and pellet stoves present themselves as the ideal complement to heat pumps. We are all excited to see where the journey will take us – we will get another answer to this at WOF 2027 at the latest.

At WORLD OF FIREPLACES 2025, we were able to present our products to even more international specialist dealers. We are convinced that this success story will continue and are therefore looking forward to participating again in 2027.

There is a fiery debate about heating with wood. Modern fireplaces are in high demand and, in our view, indispensable for the energy and heating transition. ‘WORLD OF FIREPLACES’ offers the GesamtVerband OfenBau and its members an ideal platform for innovative solutions and modern technologies, for a well-founded professional and technical exchange and a discourse on important future topics. Our fireplaces are the centre and meeting point for everyone who wants to stay in touch. We look forward to making contact with the participants in Leipzig. As an organisation representing the interests of the craft, industry and wholesale sectors, the GVOB is committed to the ecological and economical thermal use of wood. As a strong voice of the industry – for the future of stove building.

WORLD OF FIREPLACES is well on its way to becoming the new international centre of our industry. As a participant in the special show ‘Hybrid Heat’, we provided information on combined heating systems and emission reduction. In addition, we presented our new fireplaces, alternative heat sources and much more at our own stand. We are delighted to have been part of the second edition and are already looking forward to the next one in 2027!

At attika, we love fire – and have done for over 40 years. We combine form, material and function with state-of-the-art technology, meticulous craftsmanship and great attention to detail. WORLD OF FIREPLACES offers us the ideal platform to present our passion for fire and our premium products to a broad specialist audience.

As a manufacturer of electric stair climbers for heavy loads, we are delighted to be participating in the successful, newly established industry meeting place for fireplace and tiled stove construction in Leipzig. We look forward to presenting the LIFTKAR models – making your everyday work easier when transporting wood-burning stoves, pellet boilers, etc. – live on the stairs again at the next WORLD OF FIREPLACES 2027.

Compared with 2023, we saw further increases this year, for example in the number of international visitors. The organisation of the trade fair itself was also improved once again. This industry get-together is an absolute must for us as a manufacturer of stove ceramics – and certainly will be in 2027 as well.

As a manufacturer of refractory fireclay products, we are pleased that WORLD OF FIREPLACES has been launched as a new trade fair for fireplaces. For our entire industry, the trade fair offers a good opportunity for targeted dialogue between manufacturers and trade visitors.

WOF 2025 not only met our expectations, it clearly exceeded them. WOF has arrived internationally and is a must for our industry, and not just in Europe. The topic of ‘hybrid heating’ was well received and has potential for expansion. We were delighted with the many visitors from our traditional regions and especially with new contacts from overseas. Our 150th anniversary, which we celebrated at WOF, was therefore a complete success, and we would like to thank our loyal and future partners for their cooperation.

Our roots lie in the fireplace and stove industry, which we have been supporting as a digitalisation partner for over three decades. WORLD OF FIREPLACES is therefore a central platform for us for personal encounters, trusting exchange and close cooperation with manufacturers and the craft sector. It creates the central meeting place for jointly developing innovations and actively shaping the future of the industry.

Trade fairs play an important role in our industry: they bring stakeholders together, promote exchange and strengthen partnerships.

Dialogue fosters understanding, reliability and sometimes even friendships – all of which form the basis for long-term success. It is important for us to make this cohesion visible – because times change, but the shared fire remains. We look forward to WORLD OF FIREPLACES 2027.

With the new edition of WOF, as a partner of the trade fair, we stand for innovative strength, safety and continuity for trade, craft and industry. In addition to sustainable and ecological heating solutions, the trade fair also offers holistic complete solutions for building heating, building services and energy efficiency in the form of hybrid heating concepts. With WOF, we combine tradition and innovation and, with the HUB, offer a central dialogue platform for the industry and for political discourse. Personal dialogue is at the heart of it all. In this way, we all work together to ensure that our companies and consumers act in a more climate-friendly way. After all, modern fireplaces and innovative secondary measures help to reduce emissions from fossil fuels and further curb the greenhouse effect. We are all looking forward to an exciting time at the trade fair!
