Sector overview

Where the sector stands.

Abundant forest resources, a skilled workforce, and decades of experience: local companies produce solid wood furniture, upholstered items, and custom interiors for EU clients. The sector is a significant exporter and is modernising fast with new equipment, eco-certification, and design.
