History:

Quality Works



We’ve been in the furniture business for 6 generations.

After several decades in the high-end indoor and outdoor furniture industries, we started Quality Works in 2012. Our objective at the time was a simple one: to fill a need in a market which lacked options for OEM manufacturing of mixed-materials outdoor furniture beyond the inherent conflict in sourcing from factories that are owned by furniture brands. From an initial focus on stainless steel and aluminium furniture, we have consistently expanded and grown, investing in increasingly more sophisticated technologies and larger premises. This has enabled us to produce a wide range of furniture made from a variety of materials. Most recently, we have invested in an advanced in-house sawmill; expand the scope of our in-house test lab to include environmental testing of raw materials; and equipment that enables us to produce high quality lamination and form-pressed wood parts in greater volumes.

Starting in 2014 we in collaboration with designers Dick Björk and Povl Eskildsen, commenced with the development of a private label collection, and now export to America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa. Beyond simple sales, we have also engaged sales representatives in selected markets to assist with sales and customer support. As we’ve grown, we’ve increased our focus on helping the communities we operate in to also grow. This includes our CSR programme to empower women in the communities around the factory by teaching them how to produce and market hand-crocheted products. This project currently provides income for over 70 women.

We recently embarked on an expansion programme aimed at again doubling our production capacity.
