Professionals from across the furniture supply industry are preparing to gather at the 2026 Furniture Component Expo (FCE) at the Telford International Centre in the United Kingdom.
Taking place from 11 to 12 March, the FCE aims to bring the full supply chain for the furniture industry together under one roof, with organisers the British Furniture Association promising the show will deliver a ‘perfect mix of industry insight, innovation, and networking’.
As well as hosting a wide range of exhibitors, the FCE will this year feature an Innovation Trail, which is described as an interactive place to showcase products, services, and technologies to visitors.
The trail will lead visitors around the show floor, helping them discover innovative items including cutting-edge fittings, eco-friendly surfaces, and even digital tools to support more efficient production.
FCE 2026 will also feature a substantial seminar programme during its two-day duration, with some of the topics including timber regulations, customer service best practice with The Furniture & Home Improvement Ombudsman Group, and an engaging live edition of the popular upholstery Sit On This podcast.
There will also be a panel discussion on apprenticeships, focused on how to attract, retain, and nurture new talent in the furniture industry.
FCE is open to furniture and cabinet manufacturers, designers, and specifiers, and positions itself as the show where the future of the industry takes shape.
