Furniture Origins parent Origins Holdings Inc. will move its Zocalo division headquarters from San Francisco to Statesville, N.C.

Zocalo will share offices and distribution in Statesville with Furniture Origins divisions Shadow Mountain and Magnolia Home. Zocalo also will handle general management, sales, finance, marketing and merchandising out of Statesville. The move allows OHI to garner significant efficiencies while fully integrating its back office functions.

"This move is part of our ongoing strategy of enhancing synergies between the brands while providing superior service to our consumers and leveraging efficiencies and our economy of scale," said CEO Seth Jutan. "This move will in no way affect the unique design sensibility and positioning of the Zocalo brand to the consumer."

Furniture Origins is a global, fully integrated furnishings manufacturer and distribution company with offices in the United States, China, France, United Kingdom, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia. Furniture Origins acquired Zocalo in September 2009.
