Indaux will participate for the first time at the French Sadecc fair, held 12 to 15 April in Lyon, and will do so as INDAUX FRANCE, the brand it is operating under in the country. INDAUX FRANCE was initiated last year, fruit of the new agreement with Bruno Cousseau after 12 years of close collaboration. Sadecc, which celebrates its fourth edition, has become the unavoidable appointment in the neighbouring country’s kitchen furniture and component sector.

Indaux will be the host of a new meeting of the European Committee for Standardization for the Furniture Industry, specifically, the fittings work group which it also collaborates in as a member. During the work sessions, which will be carried out on the 6 and 7 March at its headquarters in Getaria, the testing regulations for fittings for hanging furniture will be dealt with in addition to pneumatic pivot arms. Juanjo de la Morena, Quality Manager, will participate on Indaux’s behalf.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is in charge of writing up the quality standards for design and manufacturing processes in the European Union (EN Standards), substituting national standards. The area of development of the EN standards for the Furniture Industry is the CEN/TC 2007, which encompasses the work group for the standardization of fitting for furniture (WG8). This is where the testing labs, institutions, associations and principle European manufacturers in the sector participate, as well as representatives of European standardization institutions like DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung), AFNOR (Association Française de Normalisation) and AENOR (Asociación Española de Normalización y Certificación).

On behalf of the testing labs, representatives from prestigious testing laboratories will attend the meeting (Fira, LGA, CTBA, Catas, AIDIMA, etc), in addition to Ikea, and, on behalf of furniture manufacturers and fitting manufacturer companies, will be Hettich, Blum and Indaux. It is the second time this work group from the Standardization Committee for the Furniture Industry meets in Spain, the first was in 2006, also at the Indaux headquarters.

There are already 5 sub-brands created to deepen the commitment and presence of Indaux in some key markets. The most recent is Indaux France, created at the beginning of last year, which will be officially presented at the next edition of the Sadecc fair. Indaux Italy began 2011 and Indaux do Brasil also began that same year with its presentation at Fimma Brasil. Let us not forget the historic subsidiaries Indaux UK and Indaux Deutschland, established in 1990, which were the firsts and, in addition, had their own structure. New associations will be announced soon with distributors and strategic agents to expand subsidiary brands into new markets.

Client proximity and knowledge of local specifications are traditional values at Indaux which are promoted with the strategy of strengthening ties with distributors and the creation of subsidiary brands.

Indaux began in 1975 its expansion outside Spanish borders and today it has become one of the brands of reference in the international market with a presence in over 70 countries and over 2,000 clients all over the world. This is possible thanks to the work of our sales organization and a network of distributors in over 30 countries which guarantees the constant presence of Indaux products in five continents.
