Did you know?

The Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers, AWFS, founded in 1911, is a non-profit organization that wholly owns and produces the biennial AWFSFair. With over 400 members, the association's membership consists of manufacturers and distributors of machinery, hardware, software, tooling, lumber, components, wood products and supplies the woodworking industry including cabinet, furniture, millwork and custom woodworking manufacturers.

Since its inception, AWFS has donated millions of dollars toward educational programs and scholarships to the next generation of industry leaders. AWFS is also a major supporter of WoodLINKS USA, a program specifically created to revive and update vocational woodworking school programs throughout the nation and to promote the woodworking industry to a truly viable career choice for America's youth.

In addition to its education initiatives, AWFS also actively challenges legislation that is unfair to American manufacturers to be more competitive in the ever changing global marketplace. Since AWFS reinvests the proceedings from the biennial show back into the woodworking industry, Fair supporters and participants are helping to strengthen the industry's future.
