Furniture born from passion DFM
FURNITURE BORN FROM PASSION
DFM is a professional manufacturer of upholstered furniture, which offers comfortable, design and solid furniture. In 2021 it will celebrate its 20th anniversary.
DFM is a company with 100 percent of Polish capital. It is headquartered in Dobre Miasto near Olsztyn, in north-eastern part of Poland in the middle of the Masurian Lake District. Significant experience means DFM are able to create furniture perfectly adapted to the changing market trends and expectations of the most demanding customers.
Since its inception in 2001, DFM has successfully been selling its furniture for the domestic market and abroad. Now, near 99 percent of its production is exported to foreign markets like Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Its products are also popular in more distant countries such as the United States and South Korea.
To a large extent, the DFM sales depend on the country to which the furniture is being exported. German customers love models with various functions, such as sofas with electrically-adjustable footrests and backrests, movable armrests and headrests. On the other hand, the Dutch prefer designer furniture in a minimalist style. In Poland, the vast majority of buyers are looking for sofas with a sleeping function.
Comfortable armchairs with a relaxation function are equally popular in all countries. They are modern, slender, perfectly contoured and ensure the highest comfort of rest. Their functionality and great design make them perfect for living room TV armchairs, for a bedroom as the perfect place to relax, or for a study or office as a short “pit stop” during the race against time.
The company offers a huge variety of furniture functions, a wide range of accessories, furniture layouts and a wide range of colours of fabrics and natural leather. For that reason, the buyer has the feeling that their furniture is perfectly “tailored” to their needs.
Three different production plants
The company’s production is carried out in three factories. Dobre Miasto is the DFM’s biggest production plant, with an area of over 60,000 sq miles. The Olsztyn plant has an area of more than 6,000 sq miles as does the third plant, located in Reszel. The specialisation of each factory allows it to produce furniture addressed to many different customers. The production profile includes a wide assortment of
representative furniture for living rooms as well as practical upholstered sofas and comfortable lounge furniture.
DFM is constantly investing in machinery, employees and expanding its three production plants. This year, the plant in Reszel will be enlarged twice. A professional paint shop department was opened in Dobre Miasto. The company has acquired next modern CNC machines for precise cutting of fabrics, leathers, plywood, chipboards and foam.
At the forefront of hi-tech
DFM constantly invests in the latest technologies, implements modern machines and solutions that follow the idea of Industry 4.0 to optimise the production process, facilitate communication between departments and finally provide the user with a personalized product of the highest quality. Recently, the company has created an individually designed, integrated IT system to track and control the entire production process from one place.
Latest technologies help DFM also to increase its production efficiency, to optimise the use of materials and, above all, to develop the “Zero Waste” policy. Many installed devices allow the company to reuse the materials in the production process. For example, a rebound machine re-foams the scraps of foam, which creates a new filling for the furniture. The remnants of foam are used also as fillings for pillows. Many small wooden elements remaining from the production are connected with each other by the technology of finger joints (very durable joining), thanks to which some elements

of the frame are built from them. Taking care of the environment and seeing the growing problem of plastic landing in landfills and oceans, DFM has introduced a collection of upholstered fabrics made of 100 percent recycled PET bottles. Such an advanced furniture production technology is in harmony with the nature.
First, the high quality
At each stage of creating furniture, DFM focuses on the quality. All materials used in the production process come only from proven and reputable suppliers. A wide variety of imported fabrics and leather allows DFM to create the unique furniture. They meet the highest quality and environmental standards, and have appropriate certificates. Such a policy ensures repeatability in the production process and guarantees the best quality. It is through this approach that the company is appreciated by its business partners. Quality of the workmanship, modern design, timely deliveries and, above all, flexibility of the offer are the factors that the DFM business partners value the most.
The high quality of the DFM products is confirmed by the Golden M certificate, awarded by the German Association Deutsche Gütegemeinschaft Möbel – DGM, which plays an important role as the RAL Quality Association – protecting the quality of furniture and increasing consumer protection. It is awarded to products of higher than average quality – both in terms of environmental protection and user’s health.
For people and with people
None, not even the most innovative and up-to-date machinery, is able to replace the most important factor in the company, i.e. people. DFM employs approx. 1,300 people who form a very wellcoordinated and committed team of employees with enormous experience – often exceeding 30 years – in the furniture industry. They are considered best specialists in their fields. With great passion they create furniture perfectly matching to the changing market trends and customer expectations. n
