As a locally based manufacturer, we maintain direct oversight of materials, sourcing, production processes and environmental compliance. This control reduces supply chain risk, improves traceability and supports projects requiring verified sustainability credentials.
Our approach is practical, measurable and aligned with long-term commercial performance.
Our Kogarah manufacturing facility operates under ISO 14001 environmental management standards and is supported by a 200kW solar system, reducing reliance on grid energy and lowering operational impact.
We hold:
GECA certification
PEFC Chain of Custody capability
AS 470 Chain of Custody certification
Modern Slavery compliance and UN Global Compact signatory status
These certifications ensure responsible sourcing, reduced VOC emissions, low formaldehyde materials and compliance with Green Building Council of Australia requirements.
Sustainability compliance is embedded within our systems, not added at project close.
Sustainable manufacturing extends beyond materials. It includes durability, serviceability and long-term asset performance.
Our furniture systems are designed for commercial longevity, with components that can be maintained, replaced or reconfigured where required. Local production allows us to modify or refurbish products as workplace needs evolve, reducing unnecessary disposal.
Responsible design is measured over years of use, not initial installation.
Interstuhl operates under a structured sustainability framework that governs material selection, energy consumption and product lifecycle responsibility.
As Emanate’s exclusive Australian partner, Interstuhl’s environmental standards and certifications support projects requiring internationally recognised sustainability compliance.
Comprehensive environmental reports, lifecycle documentation and certification details are available through Interstuhl’s official sustainability publications.
For project-specific documentation or alignment with Green Building Council of Australia requirements, our team can assist with integration into local compliance frameworks.
Our Fairway, Lift, Fold and meeting table ranges are certified Australian Made and manufactured in our Kogarah facility.
Local manufacturing enables customisation, tighter lead times and direct production oversight while reducing freight exposure and supply chain uncertainty.
The Australian Made certification provides independent verification of origin, reinforcing quality, compliance and accountability within Australian commercial environments.
