The Global DIY Summit in Amsterdam brought together more than 1,100 industry leaders, including executives from 350+ retailers, manufacturers, and service providers representing the global home improvement market. As one of the key international meeting points for experts, the Summit acts as a platform for sharing ideas and discovering solutions that address the evolving needs of modern consumers.

This year's discussions extended beyond products and technologies to focus on the broader transformation of the industry. From artificial intelligence and digital retail to sustainability, decarbonization, and supply chain resilience, speakers highlighted how the future of DIY will be shaped by innovation, collaboration, and responsible business practices. At the same time, evolving consumer behavior is driving demand for complete offerings that combine design, durability, functionality, and ease of application rather than individual products alone.

Against this backdrop, Kronospan's exhibition demonstrated how a comprehensive portfolio can support every stage of a project, from construction and renovation to interior finishing. This approach was reflected in the breadth of products showcased at the Kronospan booth. Acoustic panels, ROCKO Tiles, shelving, KronoOriginal^® waterproof flooring, the DIY worktops range, OSB Loft, sawn timber, and wood pellets were introduced as part of one connected ecosystem. Together, they illustrated the organization's ability to support professionals and clients with solutions that meet diverse project requirements while maintaining consistent quality, design, and technical performance.

From Europe to Australia, from Japan to South Africa, the diversity of perspectives, advanced ideas, and emerging trends confirmed once again how dynamic and fast-evolving the DIY sector has become. Kronospan’s presence captured this reality, showing how an integrated approach to materials can yield more consistent results in practice.
