 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Herman Miller in the Hot Seat
Feb 05 1999 12:00 AM PST

 PROFILE
Haworth isn't as square thinking as you might think it would be. The company is one of the top office furniture manufacturers in the US (behind #1 Steelcase and neck and neck with Herman Miller). Haworth grows through acquisitions and operates in more than 120 countries, offering typical office furniture, including desks, storage products, panel systems, tables, and chairs. The company -- whose invention of pre-wired partitions made today's cubicled workplace possible -- has a reputation for being efficient and aggressive and for regularly underpricing competitors. Haworth is owned by the family of Gerrard Haworth, who founded the company in 1948.
