Estonian Furniture Industry Association

Estonian Furniture Industry Association (EMTL) has been established to strengthen the position, visibility, and competitiveness of its members – in Estonia, across Europe, and globally. We bring together companies in the furniture and interior sector, educators, suppliers, and industry partners, all working towards a shared goal: to develop the sector as a whole and increase the impact of each member.

EMTL stands alongside its members – both in day-to-day matters and in strategic development. We create a strong platform for collaboration where knowledge is shared, practical challenges are addressed, and the future is shaped together. We provide meaningful support to our members through training, development activities, information exchange, cooperation in vocational education, and an international network.

The unified voice of Estonian furniture manufacturers

The Estonian Furniture Industry Association brings together companies in the sector to shape a knowledge-based, sustainable, and internationally competitive industry. We support collaboration and innovation, and advocate for the interests and visibility of our members.

Wood doesn’t turn itself into furniture!

As part of the cluster EU41530 project “Increasing the export capacity of the furniture industry”

We represent the interests of the sector in policymaking, standard development, and national development plans. Through us, our members’ voice reaches ministries, parliament, the media, and international platforms.

Through the activities of the association, members can participate in trade fairs, market research, funding applications, and practical training programmes (including circular economy, ESG, digitalisation, export, and AI). At the core of our work is always the benefit of our members – achieving together what would be difficult to accomplish alone.

EMTL stands for belonging, trust, and opportunity. Membership provides support, visibility, and partnerships that contribute to both business success and broader societal impact.
