Capability Statement
High Point Furniture Industries
Company Information:
High Point Furniture Industries (HPFi®) is a privately held “Veteran-Owned Small Business”
manufacturer of quality office furniture products. Founded in 1958, HPFi has been a major provider of
quality office furniture products. Our production facilities consist of two factories with a combined
440,000 square feet of production space. HPFi is capable of handling large projects or small orders
requiring a quick fulfillment from our “3-day Quick Ship Program”. We offer a broad range of office,
waiting room, conference and health care seating products along with laminate and wood veneer
case goods.
Location:
The company is located in High Point, North Carolina. High Point is an area that has historically been
home to American furniture manufacturing companies and “The International Furniture Market”. Our
strategic location assures that there is a consistent source for raw materials and component parts
necessary to support our production. Transportation companies supporting the High Point market
tend to specialize in providing for the movement of furniture items helping to minimize damages and
maximize service to all markets within the Continental United States.
Specifications qualifications:
Our seating products provide our customers with all of the requirements of ANSI – the American
National Standards Institute in cooperation with BIFMA – the Business Industry Furniture
Manufacturers Association. Options are detailed in our catalog price list that provide for all of the
component options and finishes. All HPFi Seating products have been tested to meet ANSI/BIFMA
X5.6-86 standards. All HPFi seating can be specified and manufactured to comply with California
Technical Bulletin #133.
Healthcare Statement:
All wood seating components employ Sentinel™ in the finish. Sentinel™ incorporates silver ions - a
powerful, natural antimicrobial, antibacterial which assists in preventing the spread of infections
without harm to human health. Disease-causing organisms on wood chair frames and arms with
Sentinel™ antimicrobial silver remain latent, are unable to propagate and soon expire. Sentinel™
antimicrobial cannot be washed away, worn off or depleted overtime. Its effectiveness is as powerful
at the end of the life cycle as it is at its start. Similarly, a large number of upholsteries are offered with
comparable antimicrobial, antibacterial agents. Woven Crypton, Crypton finished textiles, vinyl and
polyurethane upholsteries are available on all HPFi seating products.
Environmental Statement:
HPFi uses level®, BIFMA‘s sustainability certification program for furniture. These standards are used
to identify and certify the levels of environmental achievement as well as identify specific contributions
of LEED points. All HPFi products have been certified level 2 by SCS Global Services.

Environmental Statement
High Point Furniture Industries
For more than 50 years, HPFi® (High Point Furniture Industries) has been building furniture in the United
States with respect to our environment and our community. As a world-class manufacturing operation, we
strive to reduce and to eliminate impact on our environment. We recycle and reuse wherever possible. When
viable and acceptable to our customers, we incorporate recycled and recyclable materials into our finished
products.
HPFi uses level® ,BIFMA‘s sustainability certification program for furniture standard. These standards are
used to identify and certify the levels of environmental achievement as well as identify specific contributions of
LEED points. All certified HPFi products have been certified to level® 2 by SCS Global Services.
Laminate casegood and table materials are Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) certified for FSC-STD-40004 v2-0, FSC-STD-40-003 and FSC-STD-40-005 v2-1 standards as well as Composite Panel Association
(EPP) certified for CPA 2-06 and CPA 3-08 standards. The cores of our casegood products come from
suppliers that meet Sustainable Forestry Initiatives (SFI) standards and are over 80% recycled wood fibers.
Engineered wood components for upholstered seating products also meet SFI standards and meet CARB
2011 Standards -.08 ppm formaldehyde emission level. Seating foam is CFC-free and includes rapidly
renewable bio-based materials.
Dust collection systems are in place to collect residual wood released during processing of raw wood materials
into finished components for final assembly. The collected sawdust is reused for generating fuel, reducing
waste as well as conserving another valuable resource, petroleum.
Proper finishing equipment is installed and maintained to appropriately collect any negative-impact materials.
These are turned over to environmental professionals that specialize in safe and effective handling of such
materials, further protecting our world.
We are committed to providing environmentally-conscious product solutions. HPFi actively markets Terratexclassified upholstery fabrics that are both 100% recycled (or bio-based) as well as completely recyclable (or
compostable). These fabrics are manufactured from both post-consumer polyester (waste material left over
once a consumer has used a product, such as a soda bottle) and post-industrial polyester (waste generated by
an industrial process before the polyester is used by a consumer). In Life Cycle Assessments, Terratexclassified fabrics showed significantly lower environmental impact than fabrics made with virgin polyester
across all twelve of the categories studied.
All corrugated cardboard material and containers used in the packaging and transport of our furniture products
are made with a minimum of 41% recycled material (post-consumer and/or post-industrial) and meets standard
performance requirements.
All of our associates are involved in environmentally-friendly practices. We utilize a 4-day work week, thereby
reducing fuel consumption in both operations and commuting. Our sales brochures are printed on FSCcertified paper. Multiple collection bins are throughout our facilities for recycling to divert all production
materials from landfills and recycled. Office paper, bottles, cans, etc. are also collected in our offices for
recycling.
At HPFi, we understand the future does not belong to us, nor does the earth, nor its resources. The
maintenance of our environment and a commitment to sustainability is an ongoing responsibility that we share
with every person, organization and industry enjoying the abundance of this earth. We pledge to continually
respect our resources and build community for those of us here today and for those who will follow.
