Purpose. 

Do companies have goals beyond what they produce? We like to think so. Owning our impact is not new to us. It's in our DNA. We started with a specific purpose. It wasn't about style. And it still isn't. Family-owned and run for three generations, we take a longer view.

 Sitting lightly.

As a manufacturer, we have a responsibility for the products we put out in the market. 'Carbon neutral' sounds great, but the truth is that we all have an impact on the planet. Measuring and declaring our carbon footprint is the first step towards reducing it.

Material matters. 

"Begin with what's left over. Turn it into what will last." That's our founding principle. We started with scrap aluminum. Today there's a lot more to reclaim. Around 90% of our product range is made from recycled materials. And we'll keep improving.

Taking the long view.

A product that can be recycled is good, but it doesn't compensate for a product that is not made to last. Longevity, of design and manufacture, is one of the most important aspects of sustainability.

Proudly made in USA.

We build our furniture in the US, just like we always have. Our factory is in Hanover, Pennsylvania, where our craftsmen still build chairs and stools so strong that we guarantee them for life.

We can all do our bit to sit more lightly on the planet. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Choose products designed for a long life. Question before we buy. At Emeco, we'll continue to do what we believe is right and challenge ourselves, and others, to do more with less.

Begin with what's left over. Turn it into what will last.
Pretty much our story.
