East Java is not only strong in production capacity and raw materials. The province is also moving toward a more sustainable, innovation-driven future.
Government and industry associations describe East Java as a key pillar of the national furniture sector, with a strategic push to improve competitiveness through collaboration, technology, and sustainable practices.
Legal Wood And Responsible Sourcing
Several manufacturers in East Java highlight legal wood and responsible sourcing as part of their core identity:
-
Wood factories in Pasuruan operate with legal wood harvesting licences and formal forest management rights, emphasising control over material quality and sustainability from the source to finished products.
This approach supports:
-
Long-term forest management
-
Compliance with international market requirements
-
Buyers who are increasingly conscious about the environmental impact of their furniture purchases
Technology And Trade Fairs In Surabaya

Events like this:

-
Traditional skills in wood carving, joinery, and weaving
-
Contemporary design, minimalist lines, and custom-made solutions for interior projects
The result is a new generation of products that:
