History[edit]
1962 to 1975[edit]
Founded in 1975 by entrepreneur and investor couple George and Julie Mosher[5]. After graduating from Harvard Business School, George was employed by by Look Magazine in Sales Promotion from 1962 to 1963. From 1963-1975 George served as President of Business & Institutional Furniture Inc. In 1975 he left Business &
Institutional Furniture Inc. and started National Business Furniture with his wife Julie Mosher.
1975 to 2006[edit]
From 1975 to 2005 George and Julie slowly grew National Business Furniture from a catalog furniture company into a thriving ecommerce business, acquiring companies including Alfax Wholesale Furniture, Office Furniture Center, Factory Direct Furniture, and OfficeFurniture.com[6].
In 2006, the company was sold to TAKKT AG, a German corporation that owns several other companies in the direct marketing and restaurant equipment space. At the time of purchase, National Business Furniture's annual sales were over $120 million[7]
2006 to present[edit]
In early 2008, the company shifted from a drop-ship only model to a combination of fulfillment options by opening three new distribution centers[8] in Austell, GA, Reno, NV, and Cranbury, NJ.
This model served them well as the company's five web sites grew to $45.2 million in fiscal 2008, despite a flagging economy[9]
In 2016 the company moved their headquarters from downtown Milwaukee and unveiled a new showroom[10] in a nearby suburb roughly twenty miles West. The headquarters continues to reside here today.
