The Furniture Industry Summit, organized by UL on September 24th at Grand Rapids, is a one day event for key stakeholders in the commercial furniture industry.
UL wants to expand the level of cooperation by meeting with representatives of the commercial furniture industry to discuss new challenges and collaborate to find solutions.
