CMS Industries

What CMS Industries does

CMS Industries Ltd is a UK-based, privately held B2B supplier of furniture components, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Wantage, Oxfordshire with a 25-person team. The company sells chair components (arms, mechanisms, bases, gas columns, castors, headrests, seat sets), kit chairs, soft seating parts, tables, accessories, and the Aircharge wireless charging sub-brand to office and commercial furniture manufacturers and integrators across the UK and Europe. Its core technology stack centres on injection moulding across aluminium, nylon, steel, plywood and PU materials, in-house rapid prototyping with FEA structural analysis, and a 3,400+ pallet distribution centre supporting just-in-time delivery.

The business model is sales-led and transaction-based, with no disclosed subscription or recurring component: revenue is generated through one-time B2B sales of components, with quotes handled via phone, email, and contact form. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution advantages are central to the model — CMS holds the exclusive UK distribution rights for Italian premium component maker Donati and is UK agent for OGTM castors and glides — supplemented by proprietary IP including a patented anti-kick operator chair mechanism and FSC-certified sustainable wood products. Customer evidence shows long-tenured enterprise relationships (OrangeBox 10+ years, Boss Design, K*AW, One To One Office Solutions) and a horizontal segmentation approach targeting the broader UK/European furniture OEM base.
