AHFA's Suppliers Division was organized in 1964 to serve companies that supply products and services to home furnishings manufacturers. Over the years, the diverse membership of this division has played a key role in providing needed information, expertise and partnership on critical industry issues.

"Throughout its history, the American Home Furnishings Alliance and its Supplier Division have represented companies that believe there are profound advantages – both to individual companies and to the industry as a whole – in focusing on our wide range of common interests," states Andy Counts, AHFA’s chief executive officer.

Today, those common interests include:

• Maintaining a unified voice for the furniture industry before elected officials and regulatory agencies.

• Developing unified marketing efforts that serve both manufacturer and supplier interests.

• Providing discounts on various programs and services that can only be negotiated through the unified buying clout of hundreds of member companies.
