Manufacturing

Four plants.
One chair.

We operate four specialized plants in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Every stage of dining chair production — sawmill and drying, plywood and veneer, machining, upholstery, finishing, logistics — happens under our own roof.

Sawmill and drying.

Raw timber from Bosnian and regional forests arrives at our Ilijaš plant first. We operate our own sawmill and drying kilns, which means we control moisture content to the tolerances chair production actually needs — not the tolerances a third-party supplier is willing to guarantee. Starting from raw logs also gives us yield flexibility most chair factories don't have.

Boards become curves.

Plywood and veneer.

Curved components, seat shells, and backrests often depend on plywood and veneer quality. Rather than buy these from suppliers and inherit their lead times, we produce them ourselves at our Breza plant. This is where the vertical integration starts paying off — a design change at the sample stage doesn't mean waiting weeks for a supplier to re-quote and re-supply.

Plant 2 — Breza

Curves become chairs.

Chair manufacturing.

Our two main chair plants — Visoko and Zenica — run in parallel, both handling machining, assembly, sewing, upholstery, finishing, packaging, and truck loading. The Visoko plant additionally houses our metal parts production and administration. Running two parallel plants gives us the capacity to handle large catalogue programs and made-to-order runs simultaneously, without one customer's order blocking another's.

Quality control

Checked in process.
Checked again at the end.

Quality is checked in-process and again at the end. Operators check dimensions and joint quality as parts move between stations. A final inspection before packing covers visual quality, structural integrity, and conformity to the approved sample. Chairs that don't meet spec don't ship.

On the floor

New machines, every year.

Each year, we add to the machinery on our plant floors — modern industrial equipment built for the volume and precision a retail program demands.

Our people

People we keep, for years.

In a region with deep woodworking tradition, we hire and retain experienced upholsterers, finishers, and machinists — and train the next generation in-house.

Certifications & sustainability

Audited where it matters to a buyer.

FSC

Chain-of-custody.

Our FSC certification means you can trace the timber in your chairs back to responsibly managed forests, and we can issue FSC-certified invoices for programs that require them.

ISO 9001

Quality management.

Our quality management is formally audited against the ISO 9001 standard, covering how we plan production, handle non-conformances, and improve processes over time.

BSCI

Social compliance.

Our BSCI certification covers social compliance — working conditions, fair treatment, labor standards — across our facilities, which matters for retailers with their own supply-chain compliance requirements.

Beyond certifications, we source the bulk of our timber regionally rather than from distant suppliers, reclaim wood waste as biomass fuel for our drying kilns, and run our finishing operations to European emissions standards.
