An insight into woodworking in furniture production

Growing with every new idea

3C Carina Polstermöbel was founded in 1991. Five years later, a second brand, 3C Candy, was added. And over time, the company evolved into more than just a trading firm.

A decisive step followed in 2007: 3C expanded its capabilities to include its own production facilities. Since then, development and prototype production have taken place in East Westphalia, whilst manufacturing is carried out in the company’s own European factories.

With 3C Contract and 3C Export, the group entered two further business areas in 2011 and 2013 – ranging from contract furnishing to international sales.

In 2021, the group added another brand, 3C Candy Sleep, and entered the bedroom sector as a distinct furniture range. A year later, 3C expanded its range to include dining furniture, thereby strengthening its expertise in the dining room.

Thus, what began as a single brand has evolved into a group of companies that unites diverse styles under one roof – with shared roots and a shared vision.
