igeL – Interessengemeinschaft Leichtbau e. V. (Lightweight Construction Association)

A commitment to lightweight construction is a commitment to harnessing future potential. In contrast to classical "heavyweight" furniture, lightweight construction offers a whole host of convincing advantages, starting with the lower cost of raw materials and improved energy efficiency in production, as well as significant reductions in the costs of logistics.

Build on a secure future.

Lightweight construction already provides the ideal answer to the general pressure on prices from cheap imports while at the same time responding to the possibility of legal restrictions in the form of weight limits on cash-and-carry furniture. Furthermore, lightweight construction is also much more than just an alternative to heavy construction. With increasing mobility and the trend towards integrated technical elements, lightweight construction opens previously untapped market opportunities because in combination they offer the potential for totally new concepts in terms of design and technical features.

Have a part in it all.

The Interessengemeinschaft Leichtbau e. V. therefore invites all those involved throughout the entire value added chain to work on joint solutions for the design and production of lightweight furniture.
