What Confer Ltd. does

Confer s.r.o., operating under the brand CONFER.shop, is a privately held Slovak e-commerce company specializing in event and ceremonial furniture. Its product portfolio centers on wedding and banquet chairs — notably Chiavari and Crossback designs in beech and oak — alongside folding tables, mobile plywood/PVC dance floors, and custom-manufactured church chairs and pews. The company runs a PrestaShop-based storefront localized into 16+ European languages and 8 currencies, supporting both direct-to-consumer self-serve purchases and B2B bulk orders via a quote-based workflow with free shipping above 100 units.

The business operates a hybrid model combining one-time product sales with a usage-based rental service for Chiavari chairs and banquet tables, and serves a fragmented European customer base spanning event venues, equipment rental companies, hotels and restaurants, municipalities, churches, and individual consumers. Operations are anchored at the registered headquarters in Banská Bystrica with a showroom in Ružomberok, and supported by a lean team of five employees. No external funding, acquisitions, or public-company indicators are present, and the company is independently owned with no disclosed parent or subsidiary relationships.
