On July 4, 5, and 6, Sabart will be participating in the first edition of the biennial FutaExpo event, a field demonstration of machinery, equipment, and technological systems organized to revitalize the wood bioeconomy and promote active forest management.
Given Sabart’s commitment in recent years to developing a product line designed to best support professionals in this sector, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to further showcase our latest innovations in this field.
We won’t be alone; in fact, our friend and sculptor Barba Brisiu will be with us, along with the team of forestry operators and instructors from Lignator.
What is FutaExpo?
FutaExpo is an exhibition that, held every other year, will transform the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines into a meeting place for forestry professionals and leading manufacturers—both domestic and international—of the most modern technologies for logging, skidding, and timber processing.
Over three days, stakeholders in the forestry sector will showcase their products, and visitors will have the opportunity to see state-of-the-art machinery in action, operated by specialized professionals. Researchers from CNR IBE and ITABIA (Italian Biomass Association) will also be on hand to explain the technical features of the equipment and answer any questions visitors may have.
How will FutaExpo be organized?
The booths will be arranged in two circular loops, each approximately 2 km long, and in a large open area. Depending on the type of products, the more than 80 companies participating in the exhibition have been assigned to specific zones designed to allow each company to showcase its products and machinery to the fullest, including demonstrations in action.
What makes FutaExpo special is therefore its purpose: it was designed not only to showcase the latest innovations in the sector but also to allow visitors to touch them, see them in action, and in some cases, try them out.

What awaits you at the Sabart booth
Sabart has therefore decided to place its trust in the event and participate in the first edition of FutaExpo.
Specifically, we’ll be in the entrance plaza to welcome visitors with our products.
But what can you see at our booth?
We’ll be showcasing products from the leading forestry brands in the Sabart range, specifically:
- Oregon® harvester bars and chains, the historic brand that revolutionized the forestry sector and for which Sabart is the exclusive distributor in Italy.
- Markusson automatic sharpeners made in Sweden, capable of sharpening all types of chains, particularly those for harvesters. A robust structure and few moving parts minimize maintenance, while the material used in the abrasive wheels does not overheat the tooth and preserves its hardness. The two flagship models, Triplematic and Sensomatic, feature a triple function that processes the tooth at three different points: the cutting edge, the groove, and the depth gauge. An innovative technology unique in the world.
- Arbortec forestry apparel, featuring various models of jackets, pants, and boots in different colors. Arbortec products are known not only for the high quality of their materials and their aesthetic appeal, but also and above all for the comfort they provide during working hours.
- The Vallorbe automatic sharpening machine, the only one in the world to sharpen using a file, a round bar, and a flat bar.
- Our Strong alkylate gasoline products, including Timber Fuel for 2-stroke engines with a premium additive, developed in collaboration with the Timber Team Giacomelli.
- The brand-new Timber Oil by Strong, a premium-class professional protective oil for chainsaw chains, suitable for all chainsaws, sawmills, and harvesters. This product, made from vegetable oil, is organic, easily biodegradable, and safe for health; it provides extremely high lubrication and adhesion to cutting components, ensuring protection against corrosion and wear. Formulated with premium additives that ensure optimal performance year-round, Timber Oil does not produce sticky lacquer or resin and does not corrode any type of material, including oil pumps.
But that’s not all! This will also be an opportunity to introduce several new products from the Sabart range, the result of research and listening to our customers’ needs.
In excellent company
We won’t be alone at FutaExpo; in fact, we’ll be in excellent company once again.
In fact, at our booth you’ll find not only our best forestry products, but Barba Brisiu will be there as well.
A longtime friend of Sabart, Barba Brisiu has turned his passion into his profession and carves wood with a carving knife, creating true works of art.
Watching him at work is a magical experience, and every time he accompanies us to fairs and events, it’s wonderful to see how people of all ages are captivated by his skill and his creations.
But that’s not all! The Lignator team of forestry operators and instructors will also be with us; they’ll discuss their courses and will be available to provide information and answer any questions you may have.
