FFH – Trade Association for fibres, feathers, hair and products thereof

Industry

Consumers are familiar with products containing products from this association, mostly in the form of duvets, pillows, down jackets or sleeping bags: The specialised import companies take care of the procurement of down and feathers, mainly from China or Eastern Europe, which are then processed into finished consumer products in the EU at further economic stages. They also import coarse and fine animal hair as well as bristles from various countries of origin, which are processed in the EU, e.g. into industrial brushes. For years now, not only raw materials but also finished products have been imported, such as down-filled quilts or paint and cosmetic brushes.
