The Malta Furniture Manufacturers Organisation (MFMO) was set up in November 2001 with the aim of bringing together local furniture manufacturers in sharing common goals and interests. The organisation seeks to foster closer cooperation between its members and market the "Made in Malta" concept both locally and abroad. The establishment of MFMO came about as a result of the Sectoral Analysis Report on the Maltese Furniture Industry which was commissioned by IPSE Ltd. and published in April 2000. The furniture sector report made a number of recommendations that were deemed essential for the sustainable restructuring of the industry. These recommendations not only related to actions that needed to be taken by the individual enterprise but also by the sector as a whole. It was decided that the strategies and objectives as identified in the report will be developed through an action plan outlining the strategy for the implementation of the supporting measures. One objective was the setting up of a furniture trade organisation. On IPSE`s initiative the Malta Furniture Manufacturing Organisation was set-up to help in the implementation of the action plan. The underlying belief is that the industry should assume responsibility for its own destiny. |
