UK acquisition of Jack Cartwright Inc. heralds exciting future for commercial furniture

Jack Cartwright Inc., the renowned 50-year-old American upholstery brand for commercial seating, has been acquired by The Boss Design Group - a leading British manufacturer and supplier of innovative and quality engineered commercial seating and furniture that is celebrated worldwide. The acquisition became effective 1st February 2015.

Currently providing bespoke upholstery solutions for commercial interiors across the USA from its impressive 80,000 sq ft manufacturing facilities located on an 80 acre site in North Carolina, the Jack Cartwright brand will continue to be produced by the 32 year old premium British brand, alongside the manufacture and distribution of its own Boss Design collection.

Commenting on this latest and exciting development, President and CEO of The Boss Design Group, Brian Murray says: “Having already successfully traded with the USA for several years, the acquisition of the Jack Cartwright brand now presents us with the perfect opportunity to fully take advantage of established routes to market in the USA and to launch the Boss Design product portfolio to a critical and strategic sector which is currently six times bigger than that in the UK.”

Brian continues: “This significant investment affords impressive volumes of manufacturing and an immediate response to the American market for the Boss Design brand. Not only does it provide an anchor to service new customers, it presents our global clients with a wider offering.”

The Boss Design Group is a market leader in the UK seating and furniture industry. Synonymous with high quality and cutting edge design, the award-winning Boss Design brand embodies all the hallmarks of European design with the best of British craftsmanship. As well as breakout and upholstery products, the company is renowned for its task and visitor chairs. Meeting and conference chairs, tables and credenzas, together with state-of-the-art office pods are also part of the company’s successful portfolio.

Brian concludes: “This latest venture firmly demonstrates our commitment to the US market. The next step will be to secure a site for a flagship US showroom to sit alongside our high profile sites in London and Dubai,” he adds.

This US acquisition coincides nicely with the forthcoming launch at Europe’s prestigious Salone del Mobile exhibition in Milan, Italy, of two new and innovative Boss Design models.
