Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

We are committed to providing superior products whilst minimising any adverse impact to the environment. We recognise the importance of environmental protection and our duty to operate both responsibly and also in compliance with all legal requirements relating to the design, manufacture and distribution of office furniture. It is our priority to encourage our customers and suppliers to do the same, not only is this sound commercial sense, but we all have a duty of care towards future generations.

All MFC panels are procured from suppliers who are certified as using timber from sustainable sources.
