Comfort Home Furnishing PTE Limited was established in November 1977 by the company’s founder Mr. Ram Chandra who came from an upholstery manufacturing background. In the early 1970’s, Mr. Chandra was the Production Manager for a UK based company in Fiji called Hensher (Fiji) Limited in joint venture with British Vita Limited.

 

After several years of management experience working for International Company, Mr. Chandra decided to venture into CHF which, at that time showed a slow but steady growth pattern over the last 30 years. Back in those days, CHF used to manufacture a wide array of furniture, ranging from beds, kitchens, sofas to wooden furniture, tubular steel furniture, marine upholstery, carpet laying etc. Then in the mid-1990s, the company specialized itself in the production of bedding as the market indicated a high demand for leading bedding manufacturer.

 

In early 2002, CHF started to export its bedding products out of Fiji to the neighboring Pacifc countries such as American Samoa,Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, PNG, Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Wallis & Futuna and other regional countries such as Australia, & New Zealand, promoting its own brand of beds called “Sleepmate”.

In 2005 CHF took another turn in business, focusing on the sole production of wooden furniture. In collaboration with a New Zealand manufacturer, CHF started to produce Mahogany furniture in Fiji, exporting their manufactured products to New Zealand and other Island countries.

 

In 2007, Mr. Chandra senior’s two sons, Mr. Himen Chandra and Mr. Khamen Chandra, who had been successfully involved in the business over the past 10 years, supporting the company’s expansion and growth, took over the reins of the Business. While CHF continued to export and produce high quality furniture, the company managed to secure international brand names to manufacture in their Fiji factory such as “King Koil”. This also gave the company an edge to expand into other Fijian markets such as hospitality, commercial services and health care supply, allowing CHF to become a major player in the Pacifc market. CHF also had its interests in the Properties market and had been engaged in housing development for some time.

After a thorough review process of the whole Organization in 2017, The Board of directors reached a consensus to separate the Operations part of the business and have it operate under Comfort Home Distribution PTE Limited while Comfort Home Furnishing PTE Limited continues with property development works and remains the parent company.
