IWIN's major collaborative showcase at Architecture & Building Expo 2026
The Irish Wood and Interiors Network, IWIN, is delighted to announce a major new partnership with Architecture & Building Expo 2026, which takes place at the RDS in Dublin on 7-8th October.
As part of the partnership, IWIN will take a significant collective space at the event, comprising twelve individual stands dedicated to showcasing the products, expertise and manufacturing capabilities of IWIN members.
The companies currently booked to participate are Galtee, Mark Lohan Kitchens, NAA, PK Kitchens, OS Doors, Merenda, Konic Doors, Western Postform, Universal Graphics, Corell Architectural Timber and Kildara.
Each participating company will exhibit its own products and services independently while forming part of a clearly identifiable IWIN area. This approach will allow individual businesses to communicate their own capabilities, innovations and product developments while benefiting from the greater impact of a strong and unified network presence.
The collaborative exhibition will represent one of IWIN’s most significant appearances at an industry event to date. It will provide a valuable platform through which members can demonstrate the quality, scale and diversity of Ireland’s wood, furniture and interiors manufacturing sector.
Connecting manufacturers with specifiers
Architecture & Building Expo has become an important meeting place for Ireland’s architects, architectural technologists, interior designers, consultants, contractors, construction professionals and product specifiers.
The exhibition is held in conjunction with the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland’s Annual Conference, bringing exhibitors into direct contact with many of the professionals involved in designing, specifying and delivering projects throughout Ireland. The organisers describe the Expo as an established place to meet leading architects, architectural technologists and other industry professionals and specifiers.
The event has also experienced considerable growth. According to the official Expo website, it has more than doubled in size over a four-year period, underlining its growing importance as a national showcase for architecture, building products, design and construction innovation.
For IWIN members, this creates an excellent opportunity to engage directly with the people who influence product selection and purchasing decisions. Exhibitors will be able to discuss potential projects, develop new industry relationships and demonstrate how their products and manufacturing expertise can respond to the practical and creative requirements of architects, designers and clients.
A unified platform for Irish manufacturing
While each participating member will retain its individual identity, the collective IWIN space will present a coordinated and unified approach.
This format is designed to strengthen connections between manufacturers within the network while also deepening their relationships with specifiers, contractors and prospective clients. It demonstrates the breadth of knowledge and capability available across the IWIN membership, from kitchens, doors and architectural timber to component manufacturing, surface solutions, graphics and related interior products.
The exhibition will give participating companies an opportunity to present what is new within their businesses, including recently developed products, innovative materials, specialist manufacturing services and solutions for the contract interiors and construction markets.
It will also allow visitors to meet several complementary Irish manufacturers within one dedicated area, making it easier to explore opportunities for collaboration, sourcing and project delivery.
By exhibiting together, the participating companies can create a level of visibility and impact that would be more difficult to achieve individually. The initiative reflects IWIN’s wider commitment to encouraging cooperation, knowledge-sharing and commercial opportunities throughout Ireland’s wood and interiors sector.
An invitation to the wider industry
IWIN warmly encourages members from across the wider network, along with architects, interior designers, contractors, consultants, specifiers and other industry colleagues, to attend Architecture & Building Expo 2026.
Visitors are invited to meet and support the participating IWIN exhibitors, discover their latest products and learn more about the capabilities available within the Irish manufacturing sector.
The collective exhibition will also provide a natural meeting point for the wider IWIN community throughout the two-day event. It will be a place to reconnect with industry colleagues, develop new relationships, exchange ideas and begin conversations about future projects and partnerships.
Architecture & Building Expo 2026 will take place at the RDS, Dublin, on Wednesday 7th and Thursday8th October, with the exhibition scheduled to open from 9am to 5pm each day.
