As World War II was drawing to a close, our founder, C. Maxwell Stanley, foresaw a post-war housing boom. He had the idea to start a manufacturing company that would put returning G.I.s to work making steel kitchen cabinets for use in new homes. He invited his brother-in-law, Clement T. Hanson, a successful advertising executive, and H. Wood Miller, an industrial designer, to go into business with him. They called their business “Home-O-Nize.”
The early days were tough. Due to a severe steel shortage following the war, the founders cleverly begandesigning products from scrap metal. That’s how a 3-by-5 index card file became our first office product.
Before long, office products became our primary focus. Because the name Home-O-Nize no longer fit, we began using the acronym H-O-N, which later became HON Industries. As our portfolio expanded to include seating, desks, storage solutions, and more, we grew beyond the boundaries of office furniture to serve key industries such as education, healthcare, and government.
Today, HON’s trusted products and innovative solutions enhance spaces across the U.S. and worldwide, helping people and organizations make their spaces work better than ever. While our reach and offerings have evolved, our roots remain firmly planted in Muscatine, IA, where it all began.
