GFC Expands Global Reach with New Branch in China print
March 2024 – Global Furniture Components (GFC), UAB, a leading developer and distributor of high-quality furniture components, has officially expanded into China with the launch of Global Furniture Components Asia Co., Ltd. The new branch, headquartered in Changsha is led by General Manager Mr. Kyle Yuan and marks a major milestone in the company’s strategic growth, strengthening its global supply chain and enhancing service to customers worldwide.
For years, GFC sourced products from OEM manufacturers in China and distributed them from its Lithuania warehouse. With the opening of GFC Asia, the company now has direct access to sourcing, quality control, and logistics in China, significantly improving efficiency and reducing costs.
“This expansion allows us to offer even more competitive pricing while maintaining our commitment to quality and innovation,” said GFC Director Leonas Kontvainis. “By eliminating the need to import products to Europe first, we can now serve distributors and customers globally with greater speed and flexibility”.
Beyond cost savings, GFC Asia provides in-house quality control, ensuring strict oversight of manufacturing, and helps navigate legal and regulatory matters, including patent protection and supplier claims. The branch also mitigates currency fluctuation risks and enables the consolidation of shipments from multiple suppliers, optimizing logistics.
With operations now spanning both Europe and China, GFC is well-positioned to strengthen its partnerships and expand its distributor network worldwide.
