Admin October 09, 2026

The "Office Chair Town" typically refers to Anji County in Zhejiang Province, which is the only region in China to be awarded the honorary title of "China's Chair Industry Town" by the China National Light Industry Council.

Anji County started early in the chair manufacturing industry, having ventured into chair production as early as the 1980s. After years of development, the scale of its chair manufacturing industry has continuously expanded. Today, the county boasts over 700 chair manufacturing factories, forming a vast industrial cluster. These factories are not only numerous but also produce a wide variety of products, covering multiple categories such as office chairs, massage chairs, and gaming chairs, meeting the needs of different consumers.

In terms of market share, the swivel chairs produced in Anji County hold a significant position in the domestic market, accounting for approximately one-third of the domestic market share. This means that for every three swivel chairs sold domestically, one comes from Anji. At the same time, Anji's chairs also have strong competitiveness in the international market, with their export volume accounting for about half of the national chair export volume, and their products are exported to many countries and regions overseas.

The reason why Anji County can become the "Office Chair Town" is inseparable from its complete industrial chain and advanced production technology. From raw material supply and component production to finished product assembly, Anji County has formed a complete industrial chain, with close collaboration between each link, improving production efficiency and product quality. In addition, local enterprises focus on technological innovation and R&D investment, continuously introducing advanced production equipment and technology to enhance the technological content and added value of their products, enabling the chairs produced in Anji County to have a high level of quality and design.

The saying "One out of every three chairs in the country is made in Anji" fully reflects Anji County's leading position and significant influence in the chair manufacturing industry, as well as demonstrating its strength and charm as the "Office Chair Town".
