TIMBER & FURNITURE INDUSTRY

Just over 100,000 people are employed in the furniture industry in Germany. The sector is suffering greatly from aggressive import pressure. As imports are growing faster than exports, the sector is certainly facing difficulties.

Across Germany as a whole, the sector does not play a particularly significant role within the manufacturing industry. However, the situation may be different at a regional level. For example, East Westphalia is the heart of the German furniture industry.

The role of the companies based here is to attract the skilled workers and managers their sector needs to help achieve sustainable business success.

However, this means competing with other sectors and other economic regions in Germany. It is therefore important to seek support in this endeavour. As experts in both areas – the sector and its strongest region – we, as an external service provider, can make a decisive contribution to recruitment success precisely in these cases.
