Danish Association of Wood and Furniture Industry

Danish Association of Wood and Furniture Industries
The voice of the Danish woodworking and furniture industries.

The Danish Association of Wood and Furniture Industries is the voice of 450 Danish companies representing various branches such as sawmills, building components (kitchens, windows, doors, floors and structural elements), furniture (wood, steel, plastics and upholstery) and crafts. The member companies account for more than 20,000 jobs in the wood and furniture sector, which has an annual turnover of EUR 5.1 billion.

The Danish Association of Wood and Furniture Industries represents the interests of its members in both employer and trade issues – locally, nationally and internationally.

One of the association's main priorities is to position wood products in the Danish, European and global debate on climate. We seek – on behalf of our member companies – to place wood at the very centre of the debate on CO2 emissions. Our goal is to achieve national and global awareness of wood products as nature's own long-lasting CO2 storage medium. The association strives to give wood recognition in the debate on climate and environment – and as a costeffective building material.

Another important goal for the association is to have a balanced Danish national strategy for using wood both for industrial use and for energy.
