HNI Corporation [NYSE: HNI] is a leading global office furniture company, specializing in seating, storage, modular workspaces, and desks. Its brands are among the strongest, most widely known and respected in the industry, including HON, Allsteel, Gunlocke, HBF and Maxon. The depth and breadth of their brands, the scale and capability of their manufacturing, and the strength of their distribution enables them to provide the best office furniture solutions to meet the needs of every customer - from the largest multinational organizations to the local entrepreneur. HNI sells its products through an extensive network of independent office furniture dealers, wholesalers, and office product distributors, retailers, commercial divisions of Office Depot and Staples, and in some cases direct to end customers. Office furniture generates three quarters of sales; the remainder is driven through HNI's Hearth & Home Technologies, the largest U.S. maker of hearth appliances (fireplaces, stoves, etc.). HNI has distribution partners in 50-plus countries, with most of its products sold in North America. Revenues for the company are approximately $2.2 billion.

The company was originally founded in 1944 by two brothers-in-law with the belief that success would come to a company anchored in the principles of treating customers, suppliers, workforce and neighbors with fairness and respect. This spirit continues to guide the corporation. Employees, who HNI refers to as members, are united by a dedication to integrity, quality, innovation, service, continuous improvement and value creation for customers. HNI's powerful member owner culture is reinforced through profit-sharing, which all members impact and are eligible to receive.

HNI has been ranked by Industry Week magazine as one of the "Top 100 Best Managed Companies in the World," by Fortune magazine as "The Most Admired Company" in the furniture industry and named by Chief Executive Magazine as one of the world's best companies for leadership development.
