JASPER – Indiana Furniture announced “the beginning of a new era” this week with the move of its corporate headquarters to a new location in Jasper.
According to a press release, the new space is meant to put employees’ needs, and the company’s broad portfolio of office furniture, front and center. This move comes about a year after Indiana Furniture transformed its manufacturing facilities, consolidating four plants onto one campus. The move allows for the company’s entire business operations to be within a half-mile radius on the south side of the city.
“As we celebrate 119 years in business, this is a significant milestone for Indiana Furniture,” stated Max Verkamp, president and CEO of Indiana Furniture. “It’s the beginning of a new era.”
The headquarters features a modern design and amenities to promote teamwork, innovation, and employee well-being. It includes a mix of private and open work areas, meeting rooms, break and café-inspired areas, and a variety of huddle spaces for team members to collaborate and share ideas. Also within the space is an interactive furniture studio, showcasing their expansive offering, and a furniture lab for product development and prototyping.
“Indiana Furniture has made a tremendous investment in Dubois County in consolidating its manufacturing operations and building a beautiful new headquarters in Jasper. We are very fortunate to have such an incredible company headquartered here,” said Ed Cole, executive director of Dubois Strong, the county’s local economic development organization.
“We are thrilled about our new location, as this will foster a stronger sense of community and collaboration, more efficiency, and further build pride, all of which helps us and our culture, but also strengthens how we approach and service our customers,” added Verkamp.
