Since 1909, the currently 25 audited and internationally certified Austrian furniture forwarders have been organised in the Austrian association of furniture transport „Österreichischer Möbeltransportverband” (ÖMTV), which was a founding member of the global FIDI association (www.fidi.org). To meet the international requirements the association was now renamed into Austrian Movers And Relocation Association (AMARA) and a new website was launched and presented (www.amara.or.at).
AMARA supports Austria’s consumers, diplomats in Austria and abroad, as well as companies on various issues relating to the topic of relocation.
The new website provides answers to the most important questions in connection with relocation. Depending on the type of relocation (e.g. private, diplomat, or company) future customers will find information regarding e.g. transport insurance or removal agreements, and a suitable transport partner.
A new addition to the product range of furniture movers are so-called “relocation services”. These include, for instance, the search for a new home, a suitable school for the children, or information on pet transports. Certified AMARA movers will also provide assistance in the management of immigration issues, such as visa and immigration permits.
The Board of the newly established furniture movers association consists of Rudolf Stangl (President), Manfred Meier (General Secretary), Karin Lang (Vice President) and Reinhold Karpisek (Vice President).
