Six technology suppliers serving the joinery sector have joined forces to create the Dutch Joinery Alliance (DJA), with the aim of expanding into the UK market and showcasing the future of joinery on a global stage.
Operating under the shared DJA banner, the group will bring its innovations to an international audience, helping customers achieve faster lead times, increased output, and consistently high quality results.
The alliance will officially launch at the Professional Woodworking Expo in Birmingham, taking place from 23 to 25 June 2026.
DJA brings together expertise from across the joinery supply chain, including Anker Stuy Coatings (paints and coatings), Bos Machines (CNC machining centres), Duivestein Techniek (automation and handling), Ekosiet (sill systems), Mill Panel (wooden door blanks), and Trivec (surface treatment).
“The DJA focuses on two core objectives,” the group said.
“First: leveraging each other’s networks and market positions to introduce international customers to the allied companies. Second: promoting the future of joinery on the international stage.
“The Dutch joinery industry is known for its high quality and advanced levels of automation. Themes such as sustainability, door and window longevity and labour shortages play an increasingly important role across Europe. The DJA members offer practical solutions to these challenges.”
Alongside exhibiting at the Professional Woodworking Expo, the group will also host a trade visit to its facilities in the Netherlands, giving international partners the chance to see DJA solutions in action at both joinery manufacturers and member sites.
In the UK, JJ Smith Woodworking Machinery will act as the local dealer for the group’s machinery solutions, while Anker Stuy Coatings already operates a branch in Peterborough.
