Home Meridian International Selects High Point for Corporate Headquarters

By Home Furnishings Business in Case Goods on May 2007 Home Meridian International has selected the city of High Point for its new corporate headquarters. George Revington, the company’s president and CEO, said the new 20,000-square-foot facility at 3980 Premier Dr. will house Home Meridian’s senior managers and staff, and also serve as a world class design, sourcing and marketing center for each of the company’s strategic marketing units. Home Meridian was formed last year with the merger of Pulaski Furniture, Pulaski, Va.; and SLF (formerly Samuel Lawrence Furniture), Phoenix, Ariz.

The company’s other strategic marketing units are Solutions, which sells hospitality and specialty products to big-box retailers, and Creations, a producer of juvenile furnishings.

The High Point City Council had approved $200,000 in incentives on May 24. Revington said he was grateful for the support the city showed during the process.

“Mayor Becky Smothers, City Manager Strib Boynton and the High Point Economic Development Corporation listened to our needs and demonstrated a willingness to bring our company to High Point. This city is the ‘Home Furnishings Capital of the World’ and we will be able to take advantage of the tremendous resources here, from designers to photography studios to an experienced pool of talent from which to recruit,” Revington said.

Revington said that approximately 18 executives and staff will transfer to the new High Point headquarters. He added that the company will continue its operations in Phoenix; Pulaski; and Madison, N.C., where it has more than 1 million square feet of distribution space. In addition, the company has more than 90,000 square feet of showroom space in High Point and 25,000 square feet in Las Vegas. Home Meridian’s international locations include facilities in Dongguan, China, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
