NEW LISKEARD -- Located in New Liskeard, one of three towns in the city of Temiskaming Shores -- Three H was founded in 1973 by Heinz Dittmann, Helmer Pedersen, and Helmut Moeltner – "The Original 3 H's."​ On June 23, the company hosted its 50-year anniversary with an open house at its New Liskeard facility. 

Three H staerted out by specializing in manufacturing middle to high-end European style residential furniture. In the late 1980s, Three H shifted it's focus to office furniture and has been focused on it ever since. Three H strives to manufacture and design high-end yet affordable office furniture for all of North America..

The company is not sitting on its laurels. Chris Binnendyk, CEO and majority stakeholder, told the Temiskaming Speaker, "the Three H of the future is bound to look very different than it does today."

He said transitions will "lead us to be a stronger company, and one that not only assures our future, but helps us realize this dream of becoming a market leader. My hope is that the people gathered here 25 years from now to celebrate our 75th anniversary will look back to say the group that was running the company then had good ideas and courage, just like the people that they followed."
