The region Europe West is of high importance to the Blum group and it stretches from Finland to Italy and from Austria to Iceland. Through years of intensified market development, strong relationships have been established in the region's markets, particularly with distribution partners as well as large OEMs in the furniture sector.
Did you know that we supply our products in 18 markets in the region Europe West and promote our products and services with more than 150 sales persons?
We serve our customers in Europe West in different ways: we established 8 subsidiaries, work with longtime partners on a representation basis in 7 markets and cover certain areas including our home market Austria with direct deliveries.
It is because of the strong history of Blum in the region and the special characteristics of all markets that we actively use the synergies within the region and benefit from the cooperation among each other. We are already actively doing this and will continue to establish the regional identity of Blum in Europe West in the future.
