Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC manufactures home furnishings and has grown from a furniture sales company founded in 1945 into a global furniture manufacturer. The company says that when investors acquired it in 1976, its 35 employees produced wood occasional furniture in a 35,000-square-foot Arcadia, Wisconsin plant; it now reports more than 13 million square feet of manufacturing and distribution facilities. Its international supply chain combines domestic and foreign production with distribution and transportation operations.
