ABE Wood and Metal Work P.L.C was established over 20 years ago in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with a single mission: to create commercial and institutional furniture that balances structural strength with architectural elegance.
What began as a specialized workshop has evolved into a high-capacity industrial manufacturing enterprise. Over the last two decades, we have continuously refined our technical capabilities in structural steel welding, metal fabrication, timber seasoning, and precision joinery.
Drawing deep artistic inspiration from Ethiopia’s rich history—such as the iconic 18th-century Jimma stool (Berchuma)—we integrate traditional form factors into modern, ergonomic industrial furniture. Today, ABE Wood and Metal Work P.L.C is a trusted manufacturing partner for over 10 major corporate clients, real estate developers, educational institutions, and hospitality brands across Ethiopia.
