Since its creation in 1975, Riyadh Furniture Industries (RFI) has become Saudi Arabia’s leading manufacturer of contract furniture.

Its 170,000 sq m factory contains the latest state-of-the-art computerised manufac-turing equipment, which enables the company to produce high-quality furniture using steel, wood or plastic for commercial, residential and institutional projects of any scale.
Marketing manager Abdulla Ahmari says RFI specialises in laboratory, school and modular office furniture.
“RFI was founded on the belief that it is not only possible, but essential, to produce the highest quality furniture at competitive prices,” he explained. “Our commitment to this objective remains firm.”
Ahmari says one of the company’s newest furniture lines is its Lab Systems, a complete series of modular laboratory furniture designed to provide the flexibility, economy and utility required by the laboratory of today ... and tomorrow.
“Developed by an international team of laboratory design experts, and created in one of the most modern manufacturing facilities in the Gulf, our new Lab Systems line represents the leading edge of lab technology,” he stated. “Each component is controlled and subjected to rigorous testing to guarantee compliance with all appropriate national and international standards.”
Ahmari says RFI also works in conjunction with the world’s leading suppliers of lab accessories and safety equipment to provide a complete lab package.
He says the company has recently acquired multi-million-dollar up-to-date testing machines and equipment to maintain the highest level of quality and to comply with the international standards of the Scientific Equipment & Furniture Association (Sefa), Saudi Arabia Standards Organisation, the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers’ Association and the American National Standards Institute.
“RFI is also ISO 9001-certified,” Ahmari added.
As a member of Sefa, he says that RFI has worked closely with, and benefited from the experience of many of the world’s leading suppliers and designers of laboratory equipment, accessories and fixtures.
“We are proud to work in conjunction with  industry leaders including Alnor, Broen, Durcon, JHC Lab Resin, Labconco, Scientific Plastics, Speakman, VWR Scientific and Watersaver,” Ahmari concluded.
