Manufacturers
Since 1911, the California Furniture Manufacturers Association has been serving the interests of the furniture industry throughout California. As a result, CFMA is taking a pro-active role to keep furniture manufacturers thriving.

Take a look at the CFMA events calendar to attend seminars and social events that are of interest to you. CFMA seminars provide valuable insight to manufacturers about how to be more profitable, reach your ideal customer, differentiate your business from your competitors, etc…

The social events are a great way to get to know your colleagues in the industry and exchange ideas and best practices. Member mixers have been very successful and member employees have provided positive feedback about learning from their peers at other companies.

Suppliers
The purpose of creating CFSA, the supplier chapter of CFMA, was to bring suppliers and manufacturers together. Our supplier members have access to manufacturers through our co-hosted networking and social events, membership camaraderie, and shared interest in growing California’s furnishings industry.

One of the greatest benefits of becoming a member of CFSA is that your company can be listed in the supplier member directory. This is the directory the manufacturers use to find new components distributors.

Another great way to reach manufacturers as a member or non-member is to advertise in our monthly E-newsletter. This is distributed to all of our members, media contacts, and other industry organizations and is often forwarded on to many other readers.

State environmental regulations are continually changing and affect suppliers and manufacturers alike. We keep our members up to date on the newest requirements to avoid unnecessary scrutiny and excessive fees. Contact CFSA with questions about joining the organization and accessing our member benefits.

Consumer Resources
California is well known for setting the trend in design, fashion, furniture, and lifestyle in general. Not only does our furniture look fabulous, but it was made by companies that must adhere to the strictest safety and environmental standards in the nation.

If you’re a designer and need a manufacturer to produce your designs, fill out our contact form (have this link to the “Contact Us” page) and we will send your request to the appropriate CFMA members.

BEARHFTI is the regulatory agency for flammability standards required of furniture manufacturers. If you have an upholstered piece of furniture with a CA license number on the label, you can find out who made that item by visiting the Bureau’s license lookup page.
