Family-owned and privately held, Haworth is headquartered in Holland, Michigan and serves markets in more than 120 countries through a global network of 600 dealers.

In 2009, the company achieved a particularly noteworthy goal: zero waste to landfill achievement. A first in the industry – and one of the first in any industry – to gain this status for U.S. manufacturing facilities and global headquarters, joining Shanghai, China and Pune, India manufacturing facilities. The company continues to move forward toward a global goal of zero waste across the entire organization.

The company is guided by a sustainability vision: Haworth will be a sustainable corporation. We engage our employees in more sustainable practices; we initiate and use processes that are neutral or improve our environment; and we utilize our resources in ways that create adaptable and sustainable workspace solutions for our customers. We do all of this globally to protect and restore our environment, create economic value, and support and strengthen our communities.
