Hickory, North Carolina has long been known as a cultural heritage center for fine furniture manufacturing. Generations of skilled North Carolinians continue to honor their family legacies by designing and building high-quality hand-crafted furniture at affordable prices. Many of the world’s most popular furniture manufacturers either started their journey in this region or branched off from other family businesses that began building furniture here. Hickory Furniture Mart continues to offer multiple lines of American Made product throughout the Mart. Not only are these lines still proudly Made in America, but many are also still proudly Made in North Carolina.
“For some, the term ‘Made in America’ is a thing of the past – yet at Vanguard Furniture, the term resonates without 400 employees, many of whom are second and third generation furniture craftsman. I think it is important to note that we intend to continue our legacy of crafting our upholstery in America and we feel that our customers should be proud to buy Vanguard Furniture upholstery, not simply because it is made in North Carolina but because it is the best furniture we know how to make. Period.”
– Andy Bray, Vanguard Furniture
“Making our upholstery in America is so important on many levels. First, we’re helping the economy by keeping jobs here, jobs that generations of families in our local North Carolina community have made a living at with skill and pride. Second, it means investing in American innovation and technology – we’re always looking for ways to do things better, faster, more economically and in an even more earth-friendly manner. Third, it is so in tune with the way we have always run our business. We’ve been involved in every aspect since day one and are on site at the factory so we can ensure personally our upholstery has the quality, comfort, and style our brand stands for – something much harder to do when manufacturing overseas.”
