The furniture industry
in Abruzzo is a long-standing tradition made up of small artisan workshops
which have been producing fine craftsmanship for centuries.
Today we are presented
with a panorama rich in firms, established mostly in the province of
Teramo and in the Pescara area.
Up until some years ago there was an essentially classic feel in the
production line but nowadays these firms specialize also in modern and,
from a technological point of view, highly advanced furniture.
Several firms specialize
in the production of office furniture which is exported all over the
world. Also remarkable is the large-scale production of doors and windows.
Small and middle
firms are in abundance, competition is high resulting, therefore, in
high quality products, creativity and a great deal of initiative.
In order to overcome
the economic slump of recent years many firms have specialized in lines
which are very much appreciated in the Middle East and South American
markets.
On the whole, however, the quality of the raw materials together with
the skilled workforce and operators has enabled them to achieve both
national and international success, despite the crisis of the economic
market.
