The company offers a comprehensive range of products including sofas, armchairs, recliners, and modular seating systems under brands such as Gabriel Design, La-Z-Boy licensed collections, and custom upholstery solutions; it provides contract manufacturing services for upholstered furniture to retailers, wholesalers, and hospitality clients worldwide.

Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Aalborg, Denmark (ticker: GABR.CO), the company focuses on the upholstered furniture segment, with subsidiaries including Gabriel A/S for design and production and international sales offices in key regions. Its core offerings emphasize ergonomic designs, sustainable materials like recycled fabrics, and customizable options for residential, commercial, and contract furnishings.
In recent developments, Gabriel Holding expanded its production capacity in 2024 through investments in automation at its Danish facilities; the company announced a strategic partnership with a leading European retail chain in early 2025 to co-develop eco-friendly seating lines. Additionally, it completed the acquisition of a small upholstery supplier in Poland in late 2024 to strengthen its Eastern European manufacturing footprint and launched a new line of recliner mechanisms integrated with smart home technology in mid-2025. These moves support ongoing business growth amid rising demand for sustainable and tech-enabled furniture.
