HNI Corporation: World’s Third Largest Office Furniture Supplier

Formerly referred to as HON Industries, HNI Corporation is considered as the world’s third largest manufacturer of office furniture based on revenue. The company is comprised of several brand names that have etched its mark in the office furniture and hearth markets.

HNI Industries is headquartered in Muscatine, Iowa and is the parent business of brand names like the HON Company, Quadra-Fire, Heat &GLo, Harman, Paoli, Allstell, Maxon, Gunlocke, Sagus, HBF and Heatilator. Other than the quality of products they market, the business’ capabilities in selling and fulfillment remained unmatched. Because of the winning buying experience they provide to their consumers, they were able to create a loyal and growing customer base.

Its history started in 1944. It was founded by Engineer C. Maxwell Stanley. The business continues to be on the lookout for possible acquisition of companies that are in the same industry. Its steady growth is strongly attributed to their capacity to pick up new brand names to help diversify their offerings.
