Polish furniture giant FORTE, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of self-assembly furniture, is well known for its innovative mindset and commitment to the consumer experience. When looking to create the next generation of flatpack furniture, the company chose Välinge’s Threespine ID technology.
“It clicked with me immediately,” says Maria Florczuk, CEO of FORTE. “It’s simply the easiest solution available on the market.”
But ease of assembly was just the beginning. Threespine also unlocked new opportunities for more sustainable furniture design. The technology enables easier disassembly, reduces the number of parts and improves repairability. These features align perfectly with increasingly strict EU regulations – such as the ‘Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation’ – which require all products entering the European market to be durable, recyclable and long-lasting.
“Threespine helps us meet new regulatory demands while staying true to our own strong internal sustainability commitments,” Maria Florczuk explains. “This partnership moves us forward in our vision to be a leader in sustainable solutions.
Integrating a new technology at production scale can be challenging, but with Välinge’s dedicated project management, the implementation was both smooth and efficient.
“We had full support from start to finish,” says Dariusz Frydrych, Production Department Director at FORTE. “Our operators were trained in everything – from machine setup to quality control.”
The product line featuring Threespine is called EasyKlix by Forte™, combining stylish design with premium quality and effortless assembly.
“Thanks to Threespine, we’re offering the next generation of flatpack furniture – beautiful design, easy assembly and rock-solid results,” says FORTE’s Chief Sales Officer Ingrid Lohse.
The range is gaining traction across Europe and is available through leading retailers such as Höffner, Otto and Amazon in Germany.
With Threespine ID, FORTE is not just improving furniture assembly – it’s setting a new standard for design, sustainability and customer satisfaction.
