GREEN BAY, WI – KI ranks as the number one preferred furniture supplier for educational solutions, according to Contract magazine’s 2010 brand report survey. This is the seventh year in a row that KI has earned this esteemed ranking, which is based on the product supplier preferences of architects and designers.

“It’s great to see architects and designers recognizing the design, quality and value of the KI product portfolio,” said Brian Krenke, president, KI. “While this has consistently been the case for KI’s educational solutions, it’s great to see it carrying over into our other product categories.”

Contract magazine’s annual brand report awareness survey asks a random selection of readers to identify their preferred suppliers in various product categories. This year, KI not only ranks first for educational solutions, but also for training tables and healthcare furniture.

KI again ranks in the top 10 for various other categories, including computer support furniture, furniture systems, guest seating, healthcare textiles for Pallas Textiles®, movable walls, stacking/ganging seating, and storage & filing. New categories in which KI ranks as a preferred furniture supplier this year include conference tables and ergonomic seating.

KI manufactures innovative furniture and movable wall system solutions for education, healthcare, government and corporate markets. The employee-owned company is headquartered in Green Bay, Wis. and operates sales offices and manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe and Asia.
