Increasingly advanced computer-controlled and automated manufacturing has also benefited European producers, boosting their productivity, cutting overheads and reducing the relative labour cost advantages of competitors, such as those in Asia.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe increasing migration of European furniture sales online additionally favours a local manufacturing base<\/em>,\u201d said a German designer\/producer. \u201cIt is better placed to meet the short lead times demanded by today\u2019s EU internet retailers and consumers<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also notable that EU furniture producers import large quantities of US white oak and that Asian producers also have ready access to this material. In fact, a number of companies at the IMM-Cologne and JFS-Birmingham exhibitions were showcasing EU-designed ranges manufactured in US white oak by joint venture or subcontractor partners in South East Asia, notably Vietnam.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
