Swedish Federation of Wood and Furniture Industry (TMF) at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2023: Boundless Swedish Design – Swedish export investments in a borderless booth
“We welcome the international audience to the fair by showcasing a number of export successes where Swedish furniture and interior design companies have inspired the international market. Our member companies are circular and innovative pioneers and push the boundaries in every possible way”, says Cecilia Ask Engström, Director Industrial Development at TMF.
Among the seminars that TMF is arranging, topics such as circularity, synergies in the industry and the ambitions and challenges to changing the industry towards a reduced climate footprint, are discussed. In addition, TMF will arrange a tour with the Minister of Foreign Trade, Johan Forssell.
“Despite the pandemic and global challenges, the industry exports roughly 75 percent of its production, so there is a lot for the Minister of Foreign Trade to take with him in his export promotion work”, says Cecilia Ask Engström.
