ARCADIA, Wis. – Ashley Furniture Industries has again been named one of America’s Best Large Employers by Forbes Magazine. With manufacturing and distribution facilities in California, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, Ashley is the world’s largest manufacturer of furniture and one of the world’s best-selling furniture store brands.

In collaboration with Statista, the statistics portal and industry ranking provider, Forbes conducted their annual survey of more than 50,000 American employees working for companies with more than 1,000 employees in America. Across 25 industry sectors, 1,000 employers have been awarded, 500 large employers and 500 midsize employers.

The survey was conducted through online access panels to ensure respondents were anonymous and able to freely give their opinions without company influence.

“We are honored to be recognized once again as one of America’s Best Large Employers,” said Todd Wanek, President and CEO. “Ashley is a family company with multi-generational employees and leaders. As a company, we work together to continuously improve and strive to be the best furniture company, which would not be possible without all of our employees.”

Today, Ashley has more than 17,000 employees nationwide (over 35,000 worldwide) and has over 30 million square feet of manufacturing and distribution space under roof. As the largest retail furniture store brand in North America, Ashley offers one of the largest product assortments to more than 1,000 Ashley HomeStores and 20,000 storefronts throughout 155 countries.

“We are committed to providing a best-in-class employee experience, especially during the pandemic,” stated Danna Szwed, Executive Vice President of Human Resources. “Our top priority is the health and safety of our team members, our customers and the communities in which we work and live. During this trying time, this recognition means even more to our organization as it comes directly from the great people who make our company great – our employees.”
