Furniture Component Expo 2026: Connecting the KBB sector with the wider furniture market

For decades, the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom (KBB) sector has thrived on innovation in design, supply and technology.

As consumer demand increasingly blurs the lines between interiors and furniture, however, a unique opportunity has emerged: for KBB businesses – from board manufacturers and fittings specialists to hinge and movement experts – to expand directly into the wider furniture market.

That’s where the Furniture Component Expo (FCExpo) comes in. Taking place at the Telford International Centre from 11–12 March 2026, this dynamic event connects component manufacturers and suppliers with new customers across both the KBB and furniture industries.

Unlike conventional trade shows, FCExpo is dedicated to creating tangible opportunities for businesses that want to bridge markets, diversify their reach and position themselves at the forefront of sector growth.

“People value FCExpo for its honest and in-depth look at the industry,” said Matt Glanfield, Managing Director of Blum UK, a family-owned global furniture component manufacturer known for its precision engineering and innovation.

“It gets right to the heart of what drives our sector, focusing on the real foundations of the business – and that’s what makes it stand out.”

For KBB manufacturers and suppliers, the event represents more than just another exhibition. It’s a platform to step into a wider marketplace, showcasing expertise to businesses seeking reliable, innovative partners capable of delivering across all areas of furniture production.

Raf Klimek of Wren Kitchens added: “The Furniture Component Expo provides an opportunity for us to learn more about the latest developments from the supply chain sector. The format of the show is well thought out and offers plenty of opportunities to Wren Kitchens. It fills a real gap in the market for this type of event.”

Phil Spademan, Managing Director of the BFA, agreed: “That gap in the marketplace is exactly what FCExpo is aiming to fill. For every KBB supplier seeking growth, this is an unmissable chance to tap into adjacent markets, meet new customers and demonstrate why their components aren’t just essential for kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms, but for furniture manufacturing as a whole.”

The BFA’s Furniture Component Expo 2026 takes place at the Telford International Centre from 11–12 March 2026.
