The
Chromcraft Corporation brand of office chair
Chromcraft Corporation had its beginning at St. Louis, Missouri,
in 1908. It was originally known as American Fixture and
Showcase Company. The typical tradition of ingenuity and
ambition carried this newly founded company through various
stages of expansion from a humble beginning to a well operating
corporation.
Immediately following WWII, the company led the field in
peacetime reconversion and found in so doing that the facilities
were inadequate to carry out the many projected peacetime plans
for production. Additional space and production facilities were
needed. After careful consideration a plant site was purchased
and a modern furniture plant was constructed. This plant was
named Chromcraft and was operated as a division of the parent
company until 1955.
At that time, Fixture Division and the Furniture Division
separated under independent management groups. The continued
growth of the Chromcraft Corporation created a need for further
expansion, and in 1961, a decision was made to build a 250,000
square foot furniture factory in Senatobia, Mississippi, which
opened in 1962.
In 1965, Chromcraft entered into a period of growth. Mohasco
Corporation bought the Senatobia company and added it to its
family of progressive home furnishings manufacturers. Since that
time Chromcraft has expanded its manufacturing warehouse,
research and development facilities to a total of 650,000 square
feet.
In 1992, Chromcraft was spun off from Mohasco along with Peters-Revington,
an occasional furniture manufacturing company in Indiana. These
two companies were combined under the name Chromcraft Revington,
and Chromcraft once again became a publicly held company with
its initial offering in May of 1992.
At the Senatobia plant, Chromcraft produces the following
products: metal dining room chairs, metal dining room tables
with both glass and laminated tops, upholstered metal and wood
office chairs, bar stools, and multiple seating units.
Chromcraft’s manufacturing operation encompasses over 12 acres
under roof and 100 acres of land. Chromcraft has on site a
complete national advertising center, photography studio, a
printing complex for catalogs, and its own design department.
From Senatobia, the national sales force exhibits our products
in the major furniture markets in High Point and Minneapolis.
