Great, high-quality design creates better work environments 
and happier end-users. Whether we’re building lateral files (the 
first product for which we became known) or designing award-
winning seating, like our #19
®
 chair, the Allsteel core message 
remains constant: the highest quality in functionality, dura-
bility, and service.
Today’s Allsteel is about a broad array of workplace 
furniture solutions: new, exciting panel and desking systems, 
storage, seating, and tables that offer a unique counterpoint to 
the sea of sameness provided by most office furniture. Working 
closely with architects and designers, we target the contract 
market, providing project-driven and design-oriented office 
solutions. Our rapid modeling and prototyping allows for 
equally rapid product development, a reflection of our agile, 
lean culture. As innovative as many of our products are, design 
innovation — for us — is simply what happens along the way to 
solving customer problems. 
Some of our products, like the #19
®
 chair, are icono -
graphically associated with the Allsteel name, and are quite 
influential in our brand building efforts. Our two newest enter-
prises are Terrace
®
 2.6 — a fast-growing systems line providing 
enormous flexibility and durability — and Get Set
TM
 — an incred-
ibly versatile line of multi-purpose room tables, chairs, and 
A L L S T E E L :  A N  A N T I D O T E  T O  T H E  O R D I N A R Y
communication products. All of our products respond com -
pletely to the needs of end-users because that’s where the 
design process starts.
In all that we do, our main focus is to identify end-user 
problems and solve them better than anyone else. The majority 
of our customers are large corporations with multiple locations 
worldwide. According to the senior vice president responsible 
for the global design, construction, and project management 
of an internationally renowned financial services company, 
“Allsteel offers extremely attractive, cost-effective furniture 
solutions. Your manufacturing and service are best in class — 
you turn everything around with impressive swiftness. There’s 
really not much in the market to beat you.”
Well-designed, forward-thinking, and glad to be of 
service. Allsteel is proud to uphold our long heritage of quality.
