ABOUT US
Who are we?
EFIC is the European Furniture Industries Confederation, representing over 70% of the total turnover of the European Furniture Industries, a sector employing 1 million people in about 120.000 enterprises across the EU and generating a turnover of over 100 billion Euros. The EFIC membership is composed of 18 national associations, one individual company member and several clusters.
What do we do?
EFIC is the voice, eyes and ears of the European furniture industry. We are active and reactive on questions impacting the industry. We promote our members' views with the European Institutions, with inputs based on their direct experience. We provide legal and policy advice to our members on EU regulatory initiatives.
In collaboration with the Cluster of Clusters, EFIC also discusses and monitors innovation opportunities in the furniture sector, and tracks relevant opportunities in EU funding programmes (Social Dialogue, Erasmus+, Horizon, Interreg…).
What do we stand for?
EFIC members strongly support the European project and values. Our companies are small, but with a big vision. We support a well-functioning EU Single Market, improved trade opportunities, sustainable&circular business models and, thanks to our collaboration with EUIPO - European Union Intellectual Property Office, we support the protection of intellectual property rights and designs.
OUR COMMUNITY
EFIC counts on Full and Associated Members supporting its activities in Europe. National federations of furniture producers from EU and EEA countries are full members of EFIC. Since 2017, furniture companies may join as Associated Members.
EFIC Secretariat is based in Brussels, a few steps from the European Institutions.
