KI Home by Omnia expands US facilities
Bucking the general trend of moving manufacturing offshore, US-based leather and fabric furniture company Kathy Ireland Home (KI Home) by Omnia Furniture has opened new office and production facilities in Chino, California.
The new site adds 45,000 square feet to the company’s facilities and houses state-of-the art leather cutting machines and what it claims to be one of the largest inventories of stocked leather in the USA, as well as the firm’s corporate headquarters and product showroom. Two additional buildings also house leather and fabric upholstery production, and a wood frame production facility.
Commenting on the company’s decision to maintain manufacturing in the USA, president, Peter Zolferino, said, “I believe that the focus we have placed on the most crucial of elements in keeping a business viable, which are outstanding customer service, fast delivery, quality of the leathers and fabrics, and the quality of the products we produce, has been what has kept us growing and expanding in this industry”.
Kathy Ireland Home by Omnia Furniture was formed through a partnership between design and marketing company Kathy Ireland Worldwide and Omnia Leather Furniture in October 2006.
