Responsibility at the 3C Gruppe

Good housing must not be left to others to sort out in the future. Short supply chains. Tested materials. Transparent standards. For us, responsibility is not just a promise. It is a way of life.

What makes us responsible

Certified quality with transparent standards

The 3C Gruppe has been awarded several RAL quality marks by the German Furniture Quality Association (DGM) – including for product quality and furniture tested for harmful substances.

Made in Europe

Developed in East Westphalia, manufactured in our own factories in Poland and Slovakia. Short supply chains, so that we can keep every step under our own control.

Tested materials

We use CFC-free foams, covers that comply with the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, and selected leathers bearing the Blue Angel label. Manufactured in accordance with RAL-GZ 430 – a voluntary standard, because quality and responsibility are important to us.

Thinking regionally

Suppliers from the immediate vicinity of our sites. For stable supply chains and a region that is close to our hearts.

Responsibility that matters

By recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment, plastics and paper, 3C keeps recyclable materials in circulation and continuously conserves resources.

Responsibility beyond the product

With electric charging points at all our sites, working practices that minimise travel wherever possible, and paperless administrative processes, we also act responsibly beyond the production floor.

Responsibility, made visible

Responsibility doesn’t end with the final step. The digital product passport makes it visible – bringing together all the information on materials, origin and care in one place.

Where is 3C Gruppe’s furniture manufactured?

We carry out development and prototype production here in East Westphalia, whilst manufacturing takes place at our own plants in Poland and Slovakia. No imports, no outsourcing – we manage every stage of the production process ourselves.

Which certifications attest to the quality and sustainability of our products?

We use only CFC-free foams, OEKO-TEX®-certified fabrics and selected leathers bearing the Blue Angel label. In addition, we voluntarily manufacture in accordance with RAL-GZ 430 – a standard that goes far beyond the legal minimum.

What role does recycling play within 3C Gruppe?

We keep recyclable materials in the cycle: waste electrical and electronic equipment, plastics and paper are recycled, thereby continuously conserving resources.

Why does 3C Gruppe manufacture in Europe rather than in cheaper countries abroad?

Short supply chains mean less transport, closer cooperation with our suppliers and the reassurance of knowing exactly where and how our furniture is made.
