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 whose shared goal is 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.
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 and societal success.
