This partnership will allow Kokuyo to provide combined service and support of office furniture for global clients in Asia Pacific region and Allsteel in North America. With this agreement the companies will be able to offer the same level of services and effective solutions around the world, and thus support clients in the dynamic international market.

"The similar business strategy, customer focus and complementary geographical range of activities have inspired us to enter into this partnership with Kokuyo. We each will continue to work with our local clients independently, leveraging our competitive advantage towards global projects at the same time," explains Jason Hagedorn, President of Allsteel.

Kokuyo is developing the furniture business mainly in Asia Pacific region, e.g. China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, aiming for the sustainable growth in the global market. The partnership with Allsteel Inc. will further strengthen the development of services and support for the expansion of the global business.
