Thomasville Furniture Industries
entered the first decade of the 20th century as the
fledgling Thomasville Chair Company in a bustling
railroad-side community in the triad area of North
Carolina, near High Point, the furniture capital.
Founded in 1904, it was just one of many chair
manufacturers scattered throughout North Carolina. It
turned out 180 chairs a day and owed two local timber
farmers, T.J. Finch and his brother C.F. Finch, $2,000
for lumber.
When the company couldn't pay its debt in cash, the
Finch brothers reluctantly accepted stock instead and
decided to buy out the other stockholders. Business
improved immediately under the astute guidance of the
Finch family with sales topping $1 million by 1917 and
the company becoming recognized for innovations in
design as well as manufacturing quality. The
Thomasville Chair Company achieved many "firsts" for
the furniture industry. These included the first
national sales force in the furniture industry and the
first American furniture company to produce and sell
an entire suite of furniture: Thomasville dining
tables, buffets and chairs.
To survive the Great Depression, the company stopped
paying dividends to stockholders and management took a
cut in salary. Then, in 1933 the company began a
series of trade classes which enabled hundreds of
their employees to learn new and better manufacturing
techniques. |

series of trade classes which enabled hundreds of
their employees to learn new and better manufacturing
techniques.
In 1941, Thomasville Chair Co. went to war with the
rest of the country, making items requested by the
federal government, including: double decker bunk beds
for the Army, wooden plugs for bombs, tent stakes,
wooden spatulas and rolling pins. And with 597 company
men serving in the war, the first group of women
reported for work in March of 1942.
During the 1950's, sales reached $17 million, many
innovations in machinery were made and the company's
reputation for crafting quality furniture grew. In the
'60s, the company (under the direction of Tom A.
Finch) received a new name, Thomasville Furniture
Industries, Inc. In 1968, it was acquired by Armstrong
World Industries. In the 70's, Thomasville entered the
contract market, providing furnishings for hotels and
inns, primarily in the United States. In 1984, they
expanded into Government sales, and their products can
be found in military facilities worldwide. In December
1995, Thomasville was purchased by Furniture Brands
International, Inc., a major residential furniture
company located in St. Louis, MO.
Today, Thomasville Furniture Industries is a full-line
furniture manufacturer with dedicated galleries in
more than 400 leading independent retail furniture
stores. Additionally, there are over 160 Thomasville
Home Furnishing stores which carry only Thomasville
products.
In October 2007, Ed Teplitz was named as CEO of
Thomasville, replacing Nancy Webster, who had served
in that post since August 2005.
Thomasville Cabinetry, sold at retail by Home Depot,
is made by Kemper Cabinets, a unit of MasterBrand
Cabinets, Inc., owned by Fortune Brands.
The corporate offices and showrooms are still located
along the railroad tracks in Thomasville, NC, but most
manufacturing has been transferred to China.
The famous Big Chair, an 18-foot reproduction of a
Duncan Phyfe design (first erected in 1922 and rebuilt
in 1951) still stands in the town square as a symbol
of the mutual success of a now famous chair company -
and the town that cherishes its nickname, "Chair
City". |
