The transformations shaping the woodworking industry in SCM's new Magazine
Following its official launch at Xylexpo 2026, Shaping Stories, SCM's new annual magazine, is now available as a free digital publication.
This new editorial project brings together stories from companies around the world, all united by the drive to innovate, grow and successfully tackle the challenges of an ever-evolving market.
With Shaping Stories, SCM introduces a new editorial series that marks the evolution of its previous magazine, HITS, and offers a fresh perspective on the woodworking industry. The focus is not only on SCM's technologies and solutions, but above all on the value they help create together with companies across the sector.
Behind every machine, every production line, every software solution and every digital service are people, ideas and real transformations. Companies expanding into new markets, improving production efficiency, strengthening their competitiveness and turning increasingly complex challenges into opportunities through vision, expertise and innovation. These are the stories at the heart of Shaping Stories.
The 2026 edition features around twenty international case studies, organised according to a new editorial approach based on the type of transformation they represent. Integration Stories explore how automation, software and digital services create smarter and more efficient manufacturing ecosystems. Growth Stories show how technology becomes a driver of business development. Challenge Stories highlight companies that have turned production and organisational challenges into opportunities for growth. Relationship Stories showcase the value of collaboration and shared expertise, while Educational Stories look to the future through education and the development of the next generation.
Shaping Stories is designed for entrepreneurs, managers and woodworking professionals looking for real-world examples of innovation, digital transformation and business growth, through the experiences of companies of different sizes, markets and ambitions, all sharing the same commitment to shaping the future of the industry.
The magazine is available free of charge in digital format and can be downloaded from the dedicated landing page: SCM Magazine
