AWFS^® (Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers^®) began in 1911 as the Suppliers Chapter of the California Furniture Manufacturers Association. In 1979, the organization became a separate entity in order to better focus on representing the interests of companies and individuals who supply the home and institutional furnishing manufacturing industries.

Today, we are a national association with international membership that includes manufacturers and distributors of machines, hardware, lumber, upholstery materials, bedding, wood products and other suppliers to furniture and cabinet manufacturers. From our headquarters in Southern California, AWFS^® works closely with other trade groups of mutual concern to protect your interests and strengthen the future of the industry.
