One third of the forestry area in Greece is high forest, and two thirds are coppice. More than 90% of the forests are available for wood supply. The majority of forestry areas are state owned, and only about 20% in private hands. About 55,000 hectares of virgin forests and National Parks are protected areas corresponding to IUCN categories I & II. There are a further 920,000 hectares of forests whose protection status corresponds to IUCN categories III & VI (e.g. aesthetic forests and other specifically protected areas). Greece has a rather small forest sector and a large share of its roundwood production is used as fuel. While hardwoods are used mainly for energy purposes, the softwoods are processed into sawnwood and particleboard. The country imports all types of forest products, especially sawnwood and paper products. Most of the paper recycled in Greece is exported. The primary-woodworking industry in Greece is not very developed and contributes only modestly to European supply. Production of sawnwood in 2006 amounted to 191,000 cubic metres. Wood based panels production amounted to 842 million cubic metres in 2006.

Among the European (17) countries, Greece is a small player in the furniture sector: in fact, it is the eleventh producer and consumer with a share of respectively 1.8% on total European supply and 2.3% on total European demand. Only 3% of production is exported.
In 2007 the Greek furniture industry produced goods to the value of approximately Euro 1.4 bn, for the home and export markets, with an increase of +7.9% in nominal terms (+3.4% in real terms). Furniture exports continued to increase (+ 14% on the year before), even if they are still very low, and the domestic demand improved strongly (+7.5% at constant prices), following the sustained growth of Greek economy, started years ago. GDP increased by 4.1%, one of the fastest rates in Europe, even though in deceleration if compared to 2006 (+4.3%). This deceleration reflects the adjustment of private consumption to a more sustainable pace, the fading-out of last year's extraordinary dynamism in residential investment activity and the decline in government's public investment programme in the second half of the year. Anyway economic activity remained robust and exclusively domestic-demand driven. On the other hand, the improving business environment and increasing corporate profitability benefited investment, which rebounded strongly, compensating partly for the slowdown in residential construction. Public consumption accelerated significantly in 2007, clearly above the historical levels, after contracting marginally in 2006. The rebound was mainly driven by the implementation of relief measures for the areas hit by the August fires and the unforeseen cost of the organisation of the call for elections in September 2007. On the external front, the declining but still dynamic performance of exports of goods and the rebound in the tourism and transportation sectors led to a significant reduction of the negative contribution of net exports to growth.

The degree of openness of the Greek furniture market is still very low compared to European (17) average which was in 2007 of 39%. In 2007 the Greek export/production ratio was of 2.9% which means that for the moment Greek furniture manufacturers rather concentrate their efforts on the local market which does not yet seem saturated.
The import/consumption ratio on the other hand improved significantly until 2004, decreased however in 2005 and then began to increase reaching to 30% in 2007. European (17) imports/consumption average was in 2007 of 44%. Imported goods offered on the Greek market are primarily designer furniture made in Italy or lower cost furniture made in China.

Among the European (17) countries Greece is the eleventh furniture producer, providing 1.8% of total European supply.
The main drive of furniture production in Greece is still the domestic market, as exports are rather insignificant. In 2007 furniture production in Greece amounted to Euro 1,444 million recording an increase of 7.9% at current prices (+3.4% in real terms) compared to the previous year. This growth can among others, be explained by a sustained growth in consumption we find in Greece.
According to official statistics, some 7,000 companies (90% of which are very small companies) employ more than 11,000 employees in the sector. The furniture sector in Greece is highly fragmented, being characterised by a majority of small and medium sized companies, which, most of the times have the characteristic of family run businesses with years in the industry and with relatively low turnovers. About 87% of the total furniture manufacturers are small companies with annual turnovers up to Euro 300,000. Today about 80% of all firms employ between 1 and 4 workers, only a few companies count more than 100 employees. The sector is highly competitive, with a lot of small family businesses, not internationally oriented, which are loosing market share to the well established big companies. Greek’s furniture production is not yet very automated.

The furniture industry in Greece
Geographically the major productive districts in Greece are located in Thessaly, Macedonia, and Attica. In particular 62.5% of Greek manufacturers are located in Attica and Macedonia and almost 10% in Thessaly. The producers of Attica have the higher number of points of sale because of the increased volume of production and the significant size of the market. The majority of producers (about 80%) manufacture furniture based on custom orders, meaning that they are able to produce the category of furniture that each customer desires. Those producing with customised mode are highly fragmented and in most cases they have only 1 retail shop. On the other hand, the standardised production is closely related to higher turnovers than the customised production and with more persons being employed. There are significant differences per region in the number of producers with standardised production and those with customised production. Thessaly has plenty of standardised production units with specialised production in some product categories like beds, sofas/upholstery and tables. On the other side, e.g. Sterea Hellas region (Central Greece) is characterised by more manufacturers with customised production mode, producing mainly household furniture in general. The manufacturers that import most are located in Attica, Macedonia, Thessaly and Crete. The reasons for importing differ among the regions, with some regions having as main reason the price, while others having design. These differences reflect the preferences of end consumers per region. The vast majority of imports come from Italy and the main reasons are price and then design. High import penetration to manufacturers has achieved China as well.
Between 2002 and 2007, furniture production recorded an average annual growth of 6.8% in nominal terms, thanks to the positive economic activity in Greece in recent years, reconfirmed in 2007 with an increase in GDP of 4.1%, one of the fastest rates in Europe, although in deceleration if compared to 2006 (+4.3%). This result was made possible thanks to the sustained domestic demand. Private consumption remained robust and the improving business environment and increasing corporate profitability benefited investment, which rebounded strongly, compensating partly for the slowdown in residential construction.

In 2007, the kitchen furniture production which represents 10% of total furniture production, increased by 4.2% in nominal terms. Production is almost exclusively destined for the local market: only 2% of production is destined to foreign markets.
Greece is the smallest producer of office furniture in terms of value, providing a quota of total European production of just less than 1%. Over the course of 2007 Greek production of office furniture increased by 4% (at current prices) to reach a value of Euro 89 million, of this 5% was destined for export (Euro 5 million in 2007).

Among the European (17) countries Greece claims only a small quota of furniture demand (2.3% of total EU 17 furniture consumption) and it ranks eleventh among the European countries.
The Greek furniture market is small, but recorded again in 2007 positive growth performances. Furniture consumption increased by 7.5% in real terms, following the sustained growth of Greek economy, started years ago. GDP increased by 4.1%, one of the fastest rates in Europe, driven by sustained private consumption and investments benefited from the improving business environment and increasing corporate profitability, rebounding strongly and compensating partly for the slowdown in residential construction. Public consumption accelerated significantly in 2007, clearly above the historical levels, after contracting marginally in 2006. The rebound was mainly driven by the implementation of relief measures for the areas hit by the August fires and the unforeseen cost of the organisation of the call for elections in September 2007.

The furniture industry in Greece
Greece ranks in the middle in terms of the size of the population, and the annual per capita home furniture consumption is Euro 116 which is lower than the average for Europe 17 (Euro 152). In Greece there are over 4 million households. They spend annually about Euro 312 in furniture, much lower than the European average (Euro 354).
Also the furniture retailing sector is highly fragmented. The majority of retailers are family owned firms with low turnovers. The majority of retailers are located in Attica (37%), followed by Macedonia and Peloponnesus (9%), Thessaly (7.5%) and Crete (7.3%). The majority of retailers are many years in the trade, with those having an annual turnover of more than Euro 300,000 employing on average 6 persons, while the smaller firms employing on average 3 persons. 50% of retailers are being supplied with furniture by branded Greek manufacturers and 20% by imports. Main country of importation is Italy but also other countries such as India, Turkey and China.

The most important segment of the Greek furniture market, apart from other furniture, is the kitchen furniture segment which represents 15% of the Greek furniture market. In 2007 Greece recorded the fastest growth in kitchen furniture consumption in Europe (+11.5%). Even if the values are modest (Euro 217 million and about 160,000 units) the trend has been favourable since 2003 (+7.4% average annual growth). Growth was sustained in part by the increase in private consumption (+3.6%) and in part by the increase in imports (+29%).
The second largest segment is the dining and living room furniture followed by office furniture, with shares of 14% and 9%, respectively. In 2007 the dining and living room segment saw an increase of 6.5%.
Domestic consumption in the office sector recorded faster growth of +10.7% in 2007 (at current prices) amounting to Euro 133 million. Imports, which satisfy 37% of consumption, increased by 25% in the same year. Price dynamics were lively and increases were +4.2% which basically brings real growth in consumption to +6%. The share of office furniture destined for foreign markets increased strongly in 2007, even if the value of exports is still very low. The exports/production ratio, in fact, is far below the European average (31%), with about 95% of production destined for the domestic market.
In 2006 the upholstered segment represents 7% of total Greek furniture consumption. Upholstery consumption remained almost stable registering a -0.6% in real terms in 2007. Imports increased by over 20% in nominal terms in 2007.

History
Neoset, founded in 1976 by Constantine Alexandrakis has its first factory at Menidi, Attica, producing element systems as a basic product. In 1984 the factory moves to Vasiliko, Halkida, in premises covering 3,600 square meters.
Neoset Group "Epiplosynthesis Neoset, ABEE," began operating in 1980 under the name of “K. Alexandrakis & Sons, EE.”. Initially, the company enters the modular systems segment. Between 1986 and 1991 Neoset expands its network to cover all Greece through franchising; a system which contributes to the rapid increase in sales during this period. This innovative move decisively strengthens the position of Neoset in the Greek home furniture market. Between 1990 and 1991 the company opens its first retail stores abroad, 1st store in Canada and 1st store in Romania. In 1997 Neoset purchases 70% of Pittas AEBE (designers of furniture and hotel equipment), and 52% of Neo Katoikein (design and sales of furniture), and at the same time acquires the Master Franchise of the company. In 1999 the Neoset Group, the largest company in home furniture, and S. Skouropoulos S.A., (office furniture), sign a collaboration agreement whereby NEOSET acquires the majority of Skouropoulos shares and extends its activities to office furniture, producing complete lines of desking, seating, partition walls, conference tables etc.. In 1999 Neoset extended its activities abroad, establishing a manufacturing plant in Romania and developing a wide network of retail outlets. In 2005, the group created a productive unit for the treatment of melamine in Romania from where it supplies also the Balkan countries.

DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS Sato has the largest distribution network in Greece, with 27 showrooms, 52 dealerships and 11 franchisees.
History
Sato was established in 1973 following conversion of the limited partnership Metallon Hellas Ltd, which had been established in 1964. The company’s registered offices are located in the area of Thermi, Thessaloniki, but its administrative offices are in Marousi, Athens. The SATO group operates in the office furniture market, while has also penetrated the home furniture market with the retail own-brand Ento΄S, and the licensed brands BoConcept, Divani&Divani by NATUZZI, La Maison Coloniale and Leather Concept.
The Group engages in both production and trade. In 1990 Sato was listed on the Athens Exchange S.A. (trading symbol: SATOK) and participates on the FTSE/ASE Small Cap-80 and FTSE/ASE 140 indexes.
Since 2000 Sato has destined an important quota of its exports for Germany, having acquired the majority shareholding in the German producer of office seating, SID Seating GmbH (previously Grammer Burostuhle GmbH), and having created Sato Office GmbH (specialising in the production and trade of seating for offices and auditoriums). In Romania and Bulgaria the firm has two commercial branches, while in Australia it is present through Sato-Ramler S.A. created from a joint venture in 2001. The acquisition of ΤCC Buro Koltuk Ltd. enabled the firm to expand its productive and commercial presence in Turkey. A very important strategic step in the office furniture sector was taken in the early months of 2007 when the firm signed an agreement with the US firm Haworth for the creation of a new operative unit aimed at developing the North African, Greek and Cypriot markets. For some years it has had a distribution partnership with the Japanese firm Okamura by which Sato has exclusive distribution rights in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Austria.

The furniture industry in Greece
Financial Highlights
In 2007 Sato Group recorded a total turnover of Euro 100.6 million, with a +28% increase on 2006, mainly through the development of the home furniture sector stores network and also through the further development of the office furniture sectors with significant projects. Turnover in Greece increased by 37.9% amounting to Euro 77.1 million from Euro 55.9 million, while turnover from foreign subsidiaries increased by 4.5%, amounting to Euro 23.4 million from Euro 22.4 million.
Manufacturing process
The Group had 639 employees in 2007.
It has 3 production plants in Thessaloniki, Germany and Turkey, and it has also developed major commercial partnerships with respected firms abroad.
The firm is particularly active in creating strategic and distribution alliances with foreign partners and has recently been expanding its business dedicated to home furnishings. Proof of this was the definitive absorption of BoConcept S.A. (of which Sato already owned 75% of the share capital), a firm with a chain of department stores specialising in home furniture in Greece, and Versa (already controlled) specialising in the trade of the Italian firm Natuzzi’s sofas for the home and office, through a network of 10 Divani&Divani by NATUZZI outlets, contributing to the expansion of the product lines offered by the group. The BoConcept store network, with 6 stores and 7 franchisees throughout Greece, constitutes one of the largest chains in the home furniture design sector.
Products
The home furniture sector posted a 47.2% increase in sales, which amounted to Euro 42.7 million compared to Euro 29 million, which was mainly due to the Ento΄S brand with 5 new store openings during 2007.

At the same time the company also exports to European, Balkan and Arab countries, and it has entered into partnerships with 5 dealers abroad.
The programme for expansion into the retail sector continued with the launch of the new Ento΄S by Sato brand and support for the La Maison Coloniale brand created at the end of 2004. The network with the licensed La Maison Coloniale brand is composed of 5 stores. Ento΄ S is a new fastly developing brand that offers integrated solutions for furnishing homes (sofas, dining tables, bedrooms, children’s rooms, reclining armchairs, living units and home office furniture).

In 2007 exports reached a value of Euro 42 million and can be divided into the following segments: - office furniture worth Euro 5 million (in 2002: worth Euro 4 million); - upholstered furniture worth Euro 3 million (in 2002: worth Euro 1 million); - kitchen furniture worth Euro 3 million (in 2002: worth Euro 1 million); - bedroom furniture worth Euro 1 million (in 2002: worth Euro 1 million); - dining and living room furniture worth Euro 6 million (in 2002: worth Euro 3 million); - non-upholstered seats worth Euro 4 million (in 2002: worth Euro 1 million); - other furniture worth Euro 14 million (in 2002: worth Euro 11 million); - furniture parts and seating parts worth Euro 6 million (in 2002: worth Euro 5 million).
Export activity is still very low among Greek manufacturers. The segments which recorded most important increases in 2007 in exports were the upholstered and other furniture segments.
In the office furniture segment the balance of trade records a large deficit given the huge gap between imports and exports. Last year exports increased by over 10%, although in absolute terms the value is negligible at Euro 4.7 million. Flows were directed mainly to Romania, Cyprus and Bulgaria and comprise 100% office furniture excluding seating.
In 2007, total exports of kitchen furniture recorded a growth of 11%, although the level is hardly significant. Major outlets are Cyprus, Italy and the United Kingdom.
In 2007, total exports of upholstered furniture recorded a growth of 25%, although the level is hardly significant. Major outlets are Cyprus, Germany, Bulgaria and Romania.

Contract: refers to a situation when simple furnishing supply is accompanied by a series of collateral services under the contracting formula (responsibility for all the work involved in a specific order), such as space planning support and supplier research, and coordination for the completion of the furnishing.
Employees: the total number of people who work in the company as well as persons who work outside the company, but who belong to it and are paid by it (e.g. sales representatives, delivery personnel, repair and maintenance teams); persons absent for a short period (e.g. sick leave, paid leave or special leave), and also those on strike, part-time workers, seasonal workers, apprentices and home workers on the payroll.
Company turnover: consolidated turnover that comprises the sales of the parent company and the subsidiaries, eliminating intra-group transactions. Furthermore we asked for the sales value, net of discounts and at factory prices. Some firms were not able to satisfy these requirements (they gave us gross sales and/or at consumer prices instead) or did not provide any information.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS - Independent Chains: Chains under the same ownership specialising mainly in the sale of furniture, accessories and products for the home. - Organised Chains (furniture specialized): Distribution chains, consisting of both directly controlled and franchised sales outlets. - Franchises (furniture specialized): System of collaboration between independent companies, bound by contract, under which one company (the franchisor) grants the other (the franchisee) the right to use a brand name and a commercial formula, including a logo, under certain conditions and on payment. The franchisor also guarantees assistance and regular support services. - Buying Groups (furniture specialized): Associations between retailers, each retaining his own legal status and financial independence, which mainly aim to make purchases and provide joint sales services, such as training, technological equipment, research, communication, promotion and financial services. - Small Scale Independent Retailers (furniture specialized): Small independent sales outlets that do not form part of any kind of organised structure. - Hypermarkets (not furniture specialized): Retail sales outlets divided into departments (food and non-food) which have respectively the characteristics of a supermarket and a department store. - Department Stores (not furniture specialized): Retail sales outlets operating in the non-food field, dedicated to the sale of articles belonging to different sectors and mostly of large-scale consumption. - Do It Yourself (not furniture specialized): Sale of articles for home maintenance and do-it-yourself. - Mail Order (not furniture specialized): Sales of various types of product via catalogue.

NOTES: - The source of trade data is Eurostat. Following recent changes and updatings of Eurostat data, the data series in this report have been modified and are not directly comparable with similar data in previous editions of the report.
- The export/production and the import/consumption ratios may exceed 100% for countries where there are large amounts of imports for re-export. Official trade statistics do not allow to determine the actual amount of re-exports included in exports.
- Values of production, domestic consumption, exports and imports are at ex-factory prices (value of goods from producer).
- All figures are in current EUR unless otherwise indicated. Data in local currencies were converted to EUR using exchange rates from the US Federal Reserve.
- Real terms: when we refer in the text to annual percentage changes of production and consumption in real terms, we refer to annual percentage changes from which the influence of prices fluctuations on the presented data is excluded, but which are calculated on value data expressed in current currencies.
Note on the discrepancy of data supplied by Eurostat for foreign trade With regard to the treatment of foreign trade data for the furniture sector, CSIL makes a selection of products based on the Combined Nomenclature and carries out an aggregation of the data per geographical area on the basis of its own subdivision of trading partners. As far as the statistics for the single countries are concerned, however, CSIL publishes the official data as they stand, without any adjustment or estimates. Thus these data should be considered the official Eurostat statistics. Discrepancies can be found in the data for foreign trade related to intra- community flows, and in its own methodological note about the trade of goods (available on request) Eurostat lists a series of possible reasons. We think it is useful to draw your attention to the following: the system of thresholds, which makes it possible to exempt a large share of the operators (especially small and medium-sized firms) from statistical formalities, the high rate of non- response errors in the classification of goods, residual methodological differences at a national level, regarding aspects of information gathering (especially due to simplification) not yet bound by rules of uniformity in the data collection process. When faced with conflicting statistics, the intensive work of analysing and comparing data that CSIL carries out in the course of its activity of monitoring the furniture sector suggests that it is preferable, in principle, to focus attention on the outward flows.
