Why Haworth

ABOUT HAWORTH

Haworth is a privately held, family-owned company spanning three generations of innovation and design. From our origin in G.W. Haworth’s garage in 1948 – with an initial catalog of shoe racks and office partition system – to a leading global furniture maker, we pride ourselves on our legacy of entrepreneurship and design thinking. Our collaborations with global design partners and brands throughout the decades have brought new perspectives, inventions, and international expansion. Haworth may be the workplace designer of the future, but we never forget where we came from.

Commitment to canada

After more than 50 years of operating in Canada, Haworth recently acquired Tayco to deepen our Canadian presence. Expanding our manufacturing footprint in Canada has been a long-term strategic priority and we have found a partner with five decades of manufacturing excellence and strong relationships across North America.​

Investing in Tayco means Haworth can now help you build solutions that combine Canadian-manufactured products with Haworth’s broader portfolio and clearly document Canadian content where it’s part of your evaluation.​

A complete global portfolio of premium products and brands

Canadian Statistics

Haworth has employed hundreds of Canadian workers who play a vital role in bringing our products to life, supported by many more jobs through our dealer network. All of this will continue as we partner with Tayco to meet your needs and build on our history of elevating brands. ​

As part of our dedication to actively improving the communities where we live and work, Haworth supports many local charity organizations through donations and assistance. Our members use their paid volunteer hours to help Canadian food banks, homeless shelters, environmental cleanups, and community organizations.​
