Furniture Component Expo

Connecting manufacturers and suppliers in the furniture industry

 

The British Furniture Association’s Furniture Component Expo provides an opportunity for furniture-makers to connect in a one-stop-shop format.

Manufacturers of furniture will be able to review, network and purchase products in the whole supply chain from leading suppliers, all under one roof.

The expo features a seminar theatre where exhibitors and visitors can gain industry insights and where exhibitors will launch new products and services.

BFA members will have free access to Club BFA, an exclusive lounge where refreshments will be available.

Who should visit?

Individuals involved in the manufacturing of furniture looking for the latest products, services, machinery and technology. Visitors must be aged 16 or over.

Who should exhibit?

Companies that supply the furniture industry with components, software, machinery, timber and anything else!  Exhibiting will provide your organisation with the opportunity to meet the decision makers face to face in the manufacturing industry.

Testimonials

“A very good show covering all aspects of the furniture industry rather than focusing on one specific area. The show was one of the most useful and cost effective solutions to promoting our name and products in the wider furniture sector.”

Chris Green, Plasfoils

“People loved your show because, unlike other shows FCExpo dives deep into the real, unfiltered side of the industry. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s what actually makes the industry tick. We don’t just give you drama—we give you the truth behind the trades, the hustle behind the highlight reels, and the everyday grind that builds the foundations of this business. That’s what sets FCExpo apart—and why people can’t stop talking about it.”

Matt, Blum UK

“Furniture Component Expo 25 was a highly valuable event for Lectra.  It provided an excellent platform for meaningful discussions with industry leaders, fostering knowledge exchange and business opportunities. We engaged in productive conversations about our cutting-edge solution, Valia, and its role in Industry 4.0 transformation, reinforcing our commitment to customer support and future cooperation.”

Radoslaw Szymanski, Lectra

“Obviously with the show dedicated to furniture it covers a variety of industries but the crux is that most start with a wooden frame so we were pleasantly surprised at the attention our diamond machine tools caused.  We have made some good contacts and hope to develop some good business relationships and we have pencilled in the calendar for next year.”

Ben and Paul Falkingham, PCD Tooling Solutions

“The FCE is the event to be at if you are involved in the design and manufacture of furniture in the UK .”

Dean Bradley, Glazpart Ltd

“We enjoyed exhibiting for the second time at the FC Expo this year and look forward to planning for FC Expo26. We found the visitors were open to suggestions from us regarding their packaging needs.”

Angela Doran, Wood’s Packaging Ltd

“An excellent show for Alfrecell to reintroduce our brand.”

Paul Thompson, Alfrecell Ltd

“Seeing examples in person really is quite valuable.”

Kingcome Sofas

“It’s great to have all of our relevant suppliers in one place. It’s a great opportunity to catch up and find new suppliers. We found a new label supplier last year and this year were some interesting glue suppliers. It would just be great if it grows year on year.”

Next PLC

“Easy to park and walk too. Excellent facilities. Good all round experience.”

Goldstraw Interiors

“How useful it is to be able to see products in person when so much is only online now. As a result of meeting a sewing machine supplier I have now purchased a machine from them, which I wouldn’t have done were it not for the show.”

Sarah Osborn Upholstery

“Worth visiting – all the people we wanted to see were there, plus a few possible new suppliers.”
