The fairs had an international focus and were held every second year. After the 1989 Elmia Wood, the international forestry fair was given a four-year interval. At the same time, a smaller Scandinavian fair was launched for the in-between years, SkogsElmia, so that the Swedish public still had the opportunity to attend a forestry fair every second year. Today SkogsElmia has developed into a fair with mainly small-scale technology.
