About

Three generations of the Haworth family have led our company. G.W. Haworth borrowed his parents? life savings to expand his woodworking operation in the family garage. The skilled craftsman?s goal: earn enough money to put his children through college. Engineering-minded son, Dick, devised a way to pre-wire partitions from within. Competitors realized it was an ingenious idea and created ?look-alikes,? the highest compliment. Driven by his foresight to gain a global perspective, Dick has seen the company through its largest years of growth to date. Matthew Haworth has spent his entire career in the family business in a wide variety of roles in marketing, manufacturing, sales, planning and purchasing. He led the company?s largest single business unit, oversaw the most successful product line and continues to lead with a marketing focus that drives transformation.
