UNIFA is based on
the collegial and participative organization of industrial firms in:
Regional delegations: East, Ile-de-France-Center,
North, West, Southeast, Southwest
Six regional delegates serve as a close link between
the specialized departments of the "French Furniture Industries" and
the members, working out of six regional facilities: Lille, Nantes,
Bordeaux, Lyon, Nancy and Paris. The regional delegate ensures that
someone is always listening.
His mission is to offer concrete solutions to the needs of industrial
firms, no matter what the nature of the problem (seeking regional
financing for business development projects, for example).
He manages relationships with economic and institutional actors: local
authorities, DRIRE, chambers of commerce, etc.
