OUR STORY
For over 40 years, Dickson Furniture Manufacturers has been providing unmatched expertise in the furniture market. We have a long history of working closely with our customers to meet their specific needs. Our ability to manufacture locally and import worldwide allows our customers to have the best quality at the best price.
Our domestic products are manufactured in our company-owned facility in Houston, Texas. Due to our highly specialized manufacturing techniques, we can deliver products locally that cannot be matched in quality and price. Our products can be configured to be highly durable and have a longer lifespan than imported furniture. Inversely, we can provide price point goods for short-term one time use needs.
Dickson has been an innovator throughout its history:
We introduced the memory foam mattress to the student housing industry.
We designed the original metal-banded laminate furniture that is now so popular in student housing.
We created the two-position chair and the waterfall seat.
We applied floating tops to student housing case goods, adding air to functionality.
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
A companywide commitment to contribute to the success and quality of life and environment of our customers and community
At Dickson Furniture Industries, we understand all too well that in order to be a source of outstanding, sustainable products for our customers – we must also be committed to protecting and sustaining our own ultimate resource, the environment; and we are.
From our ongoing waste conservation efforts to improved manufacturing efficiencies in our factory to increasing recovered and recycled materials in our products, Dickson Furniture is passionate about environmental responsibility.
The following is a summary of some of those environmental efforts on a broad scale:
Because of our long history as a Furniture Manufacturer, Dickson Furniture has always believed in getting every bit of added value and efficiency out of available resources. Every part of every raw material is used in the manufacturing of our products, or creating byproducts used beneficially by other manufacturers through our ongoing recycling efforts.
LAMINATES
Laminates used in the Dickson Furniture manufacturing facility are Wilsonart domestically produced laminates. Wilsonart Laminate contains a minimum of 20% post consumer recycled content – the highest percentage of postconsumer content in the industry. Here is an illustration of the materials used in Wilsonart Laminate.
Our laminating process is tested and overseen by Wilsonart to insure that our goods never de-laminate. We use the highest quality of Wilsonart-made glues to ensure sustainable and durable products.
