OFS Brands Unveils Latest Innovation in Wood Finishing Technology

June 15, 2009

Huntingburg, Indiana - June 2009, OFS Brands, the parent company to Carolina, OFS, First Office and Loewenstein and a leader in the corporate, healthcare, education and hospitality furniture markets, has invested millions of dollars and spent multiple years working with European and American scientists to develop Euroluxe™, the state of the art finishing system.

Euroluxe™ is a chemically re-engineered Urethane clear coat that preserves the beautiful depth and clarity of OFS Brands’ finishes, allowing for much greater performance with chemical, heat and scratch resistance, while achieving indoor air quality standards set by LEED and BIFMA furniture emission standards. This feature enables OFS Brands to GREENGUARD certify all products across the board in all brands. The Euroluxe™ finish is applied with a premium patented spray process which requires nano technology to precisely regulate the timing and mixture of the sensitive materials. Because the process catalyzation with Euroluxe™ finish has been designed to bond differently to the wood fiber, Euroluxe™ is field repairable.

Hank Menke, President and CEO states, “Investing in innovation and technology during an economic period where most businesses have eliminated innovative initiatives is essential to our continued commitment to growth, innovation and sustainability.” Menke also added, “We feel the Euroluxe™ finish system has raised the bar within the wood furniture industry, but more importantly, will allow OFS Brands to deliver higher value product to our customers in a time where cost cutting and devaluation is the trend with many other companies.”

OFS Brands, Inc. is a family owned corporation, headquartered in Huntingburg, Indiana, and is committed to providing socially responsible furniture and logistic solutions through better design, excellent performance, and innovative products and services.
