Three employees,
a fax machine,
and a bell.
"It started in a small warehouse with a bell that rang out every time a chair came down the conveyor belt."
It all started in a small California warehouse with just three employees, a fax machine, and a bell that rang out every time a chair came down the conveyor belt. Thirty years later, Exemplis continues to lead, innovate, and disrupt an array of industries through a growing family of brands — including Albany Park, Edloe Finch, Mavix, SitOnIt Seating, Timbuk2, and X-Chair.
Today, we ship thousands of custom-designed chairs a day, experience explosive growth every year, and operate manufacturing facilities in California, Florida, and Mexico — with showrooms in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, Chicago, New York, and Houston.
We're rapidly growing and highly profitable, driving significant expansion through existing core brands and an aggressive acquisition strategy — all while embracing a progressive team culture that's vibrant, build-to-order at its heart, and unmistakably Southern Californian.
From sustainable manufacturing to outreach programs and more, we strive to make a positive impact on everyone we serve. We make sure our people — and their communities — are at the core of our organization. To make a difference, we must be a champion of diversity, inclusion, service, and social justice — above all else.
