Steelcase History
The company was founded in 1912 as The Metal Office Furniture Company, specializing at first in file cabinets and safes, and changed its name to Steelcase in 1954. Today, its portfolio spans the three core elements of an office environment: architecture, furniture and technology products. Steelcase has been a publicly-held company since 1997 but a large portion of its stock is still held by members of three founding families.
In March 2008 Steelcase announced a long-term financial commitment to a U.S. wind farm, including supporting the purchase of all the green power produced by the farm for at least the first five years of its operation. This was the first time a corporation has made an up-front commitment to purchase all of the renewable energy credits (RECs) from a U.S. wind farm in the financing stage. Experts believe that Steelcase's commitment to the wind farm will help pioneer new ways to reduce the United State's reliance on fossil fuels and shows how companies can leverage their environmental commitments to effect a massive change.
In 2006 Steelcase received a MBDC Cradle to Cradle Certification for an entire powered workstation at the annual Greenbuild International Conference & Expo presented by the U.S. Green Building Council. The certification marked a first in the contract furniture industry
In 2001, Steelcase’s wood furniture factory became the world’s first manufacturing plant to receive LEED Certification for Environmental Excellence by the U.S. Green Building Council. Steelcase has the largest portfolio of products to receive McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry’s Cradle-to-Cradle certification for sustainable products.
In 1996, Steelcase was found at fault in a patent infringement suit brought against them by Haworth, Inc., another furniture company. Steelcase was ordered to pay $211.5 million in damages and interest
