MALWA Forest will exhibit its "entire range" of models at Elmia Wood - with bosses expecting "international interest" at the event.
Harvesters, forwarders and combo machines will be on display in the forest of Bratteborg, south of Jönköping, during the two-day event in June.
Other major players already confirmed for the Swedish showpiece include Husqvarna and Mus-Max, with organisers promising more will be announced in due course.

“People are really eager to get out and meet face to face again, and for that it’s hard to imagine a better meeting place than Elmia Wood,” said Mikael Herzberg of Malwa. “We’re expecting a great atmosphere and many enjoyable encounters and conversations with customers, suppliers, industry professionals and the media.
"Because we’re in an expansive export phase, we’re hoping for a lot of international interest and many visitors from other places.
"We’re also seeing a growing interest in smaller machines and we’re expecting a lot of great discussions – about forest management in general and thinning in particular. There will also be many live demonstrations of our machines.
"We’re bringing our entire range of models, such as harvesters, forwarders and combo machines, and we’ll be working them hard in the forest. In addition, the world’s first electric-powered combination harvester/forwarder will be coming.”
Elmia Wood is an extensive fair and meeting place for forest owners, contractors, administrators and everyone interested in the forestry sector.
