Gremi Fusta i Moble

What Gremi Fusta i Moble does

Gremi Fusta i Moble is a Catalan professional guild (gremi) for the wood and furniture sector, headquartered in Barcelona and tracing its origins to 1257, making it among the oldest continuously operating business associations in Europe. The organization represents and serves companies and professionals across the wood, carpentry, and furniture value chain, primarily in Catalonia but with directory reach extending into Aragon and the Basque Country.

Its core offerings to members include vocational training programs, industry publications, a job board, a sectoral company directory, events such as Setmana de la Fusta and Anells de la Fusta, advocacy on behalf of the industry, and sub-brands such as Ecowood (sustainability), Projecta't (career/project orientation), Parlem de Fusta (industry dialogue), and Món Fusta (industry showcase). The guild operates as a nonprofit association sustained by member dues and partner-supported programs, supported by an in-house team of 13 employees and a Secretariat led by Salvador Ordóñez. Recent activity includes a digital transformation push initiated during the March 2020 COVID-19 teleworking rollout, a LinkedIn corporate presence launched in 2019, and a financial-services partnership with Banc de Sabadell.

The business model is membership-based: companies and professionals in the sector pay dues and gain access to training, advocacy, networking events, and visibility in the guild's directory and publications. The guild does not disclose revenue, member counts, or pricing in the available data, and operates with no disclosed funding rounds or external investment.
