Kopenhagen Fur, located in Langagervej 60, Glostrup, Copenhagen, Denmark, is the largest fur skin auction company in the world. Its business units include production, classification and trade of mink fur,〔 as well as offering workshop facilities and seminars for designers and researchers. Furward is the company's consultancy subsidiary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.efurmedia.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1156&Itemid=55&lang=en )〕 Kopenhagen Studio has two locations: the Langelinie studio incorporates the company's workshop and marketing department while its Beijing studio at Tsinghua University trains fur designers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kopenhagenfur.com/fur-innovation )〕 At peak demand, the company is able to pack and sort 150,000 furs in one day. ==History== Most of Europe's fur production was marketed by Finnish Fur Sales of Finland or Copenhagen Fur Center ()CFC of Denmark. Ninety percent of CFC's pelt skins were mink, while fox and fitch skins are also farmed and sold. International auctions occur five or six times every year. After three years of planning, the Empress Chinchilla division of CFC, coordinated the worldwide pelt production efforts of chinchilla ranchers in 1963. In 1979, the major raw fur auctions were occurring in January, March, May, and December at CFC. By 1999, approximately 500 buyers would arrive in Copenhagen from 15 countries to bid on some 12 million mink pelts. When Copenhagen Fur Center ended its marketing alliance with Saga Furs of Scandinavia, made several changes. The fur center rebranded itself as Kopenhagen Fur to incorporate its geographic location but using the letter K as an unusual design feature.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://re-public.com/en/case/kopenhagen-fur )〕 The company has been affected by the global economic downturn; pelt prices decreased by 30 per cent between 2008 and 2009 alone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kopenhagen Fur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
