Description
Safety Forums provide an excellent opportunity for safety-minded individuals to meet in an informal session to share information and discuss concerns about safety and health programs. This forum will consist of a tour of KI-Manitowoc and a discussion period.
Innovative product solutions and customization is the cornerstone of KI, continuing a tradition established at the company’s inception in 1941 as Krueger Metal Products, Inc., in Aurora, Illinois. The war effort made manufacturing resources scarce. Daily, founder Al Krueger would call on steel companies in Chicago to purchase materials to manufacture the company’s first folding chairs. The scrap materials available determined what he could produce, a novel and flexible way of manufacturing. Even today, our environmentally conscious company finds new ways to use resources wisely and innovatively.
Over the years, KI has developed into an industry-leading, award-winning furniture manufacturer with an international presence. From its initial product, a steel folding chair, to today’s ergonomic seating, adjustable work surfaces and flexible office furniture systems, the highest levels of quality, aesthetics and craftsmanship are apparent in KI products.
KI’s Corporate Headquarters is located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Manufacturing facilities include:
- Green Bay, Wisconsin – ergonomic task seating, stack chairs, conference tables, and college classroom seating
- Bonduel, Wisconsin – ergonomic and classroom seating, site furnishings, training tables and wood components
- Manitowoc, Wisconsin – systems and moveable walls
- Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin – Spacesaver Corporation, mobile storage systems and shelving
- Northern Mississippi – folding chairs, banquet tables, student desks and stools
- High Point, North Carolina – AGI healthcare and soft seating
- Pembroke, Canada – storage solutions
