Fornasarig ships to Europe, Africa, the US and the Far East

Fornasarig chairs and tables for offices campuses and hospitality projects

The export map a manufacturer declares says a good deal about how its furniture is built: Fornasarig lists Europe, Africa, the United States and the Far East among its markets, which means the same chair has to satisfy inspectors, climates and procurement rules on four very different terms. The company has made seating since 1878 at Manzano in Friuli, is run by the fourth generation of the family, and tests its contract chairs, sofas and tables at CATAS to both EN 1728 and ANSI/BIFMA X5.1, with a ten-year warranty.

La Mercanti supplies the brand to Indian offices, campuses and hospitality projects — a factory used to shipping across four continents rarely improvises on packaging, documentation or spare parts.

FAQ

Does the manufacturer have experience shipping outside Europe?

The declared markets are Europe, Africa, the United States and the Far East, a spread the company built from the 1980s onward when the fourth generation opened the international contract channel. In practice that means packaging, documentation and testing already answer more than one regulatory logic: products are tested at CATAS against the European EN 1728 and the American ANSI/BIFMA X5.1. Requirements for a particular destination are confirmed on the manufacturer's documentation for each project.

Ordering imported furniture for a large Indian project

One step that prevents delays between the factory and the site.

Agree the documentation set before the goods leave the factory

On imported contract furniture, most delays are paperwork, not production: test reports, material declarations, packing lists and warranty terms are needed at customs, at handover or at internal audit, and collecting them afterwards takes weeks. Ask for the full set at order confirmation — including the EN 1728 and ANSI/BIFMA X5.1 reports where they apply — and file it with the purchase order. A manufacturer already exporting across four continents will have it ready; that readiness is itself a useful test of the supplier.
