Architype Now Representing Haworth Ancillary
Emeco was founded to make lightweight, non-corrosive, fire resistant chairs for the U.S. Navy. For this very important client, the company designed the now classic 1006 Navy Chair. Today, Emeco craftspeople in Hanover, Pennsylvania continue to handcraft chairs that are so durable, they are passed down through generations.
Emeco makes all products in the USA, just like always, since 1944. At its factory in Hanover, Pennsylvania, Emeco’s craftsmen turn scrap aluminum into chairs so strong, they are guaranteed for life.
In 1944, Emeco’s story starts with recycled aluminum - a wartime necessity - and a unique 77-step process engineered for a specific assignment - a chair to withstand the US Navy. Life on a ship is tough. Salt water. Salt air. The occasional torpedo blast. Survival will require a very resilient material. 77 steps turn ordinary scrap aluminum extraordinarily strong. This labor intense process is Emeco’s heritage, its DNA and what they do at the factory every day.

Just like we decipher nutrient labels on food, we need to familiarize ourselves with carbon footprints. It might be helpful to learn that 2 cups of coffee / day for a year has a carbon footprint of 15.33kg CO2e. Knowing the number can help you make informed choices to balance your overall 'carbon budget.'
