Furniture and Fixtures Industry

Furniture and Fixtures businesses worldwide are stressed with global pressure to find new efficiencies. Price sensitivity, volatile raw material cost, labor demands, and shorter product lifecycles continue to erode already thin margins. In response, many businesses are:

• expanding their traditional business
