Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc.
 PROFILE
Furniture buyers took a shine to Ashley Furniture Industries when it added a tough, high-gloss polyester finish to its furniture in 1986. The company is one of the nation's largest furniture manufacturers. Ashley Furniture makes and imports upholstered, leather, and hardwood furniture, as well as bedding. It has manufacturing plants and distribution centers in California, Florida, New Jersey, Washington, Wisconsin, and overseas. It has tapped into retail through more than 100 Ashley Furniture HomeStores -- independently owned shops that sell only Ashley Furniture products. Founded by Carlyle Weinberger in 1945, Ashley Furniture is owned by father-and-son duos Ron and Todd Wanek and Chuck and Ben Vogel.
