BFA's Furniture Component Expo to expand reach in 2026

The Furniture Component Expo, (FCE) is set to expand its reach in 2026 by incorporating suppliers of fixtures, fittings and components for the kitchens and bathrooms sector. Organised by the British Furniture Association (BFA), the FCE provides opportunities for component and service suppliers to develop new markets with leading furniture manufacturers, meeting decision makers, buyers, designers and production teams.

Launched in 2024, the third FCE, which takes place in March, will feature even more exhibitors of panels, hinges and fittings suitable for use in the production and installation of kitchens and bathrooms.

Phil Spademan, MD of the BFA, said: “As we head to the third FCE, the show goes from strength to strength and the event’s profile increasingly makes it of interest to those in the kitchen and bathroom sectors, looking to reach new audiences. Offering a one-stop-shop opportunity, FCE enables manufacturers to review, network and purchase products from leading suppliers, all under one roof.

“The event’s ability to attract decision-makers from across different sectors ensures that conversations have the potential to open doors. By broadening the scope to include the kitchen and bathroom sectors, FCE will offer even more opportunities to network and make important new connections. The event is made possible through the support of sponsors BeA Group and Carpenter Limited, and we are grateful that they recognise the value this event brings to the sector as the first show of its kind in the UK.”

The BFA’s Furniture Component Expo 26 will take place at Telford International Centre on 11th and 12th March, 2026.
