American Leather
In 1990, American Leather was founded on the revolutionary idea that custom leather furniture could be made and shipped in three weeks or less. In the years since, American Leather has evolved from setting a precedent with quick-ship delivery to setting the standards by which all other custom furniture manufacturers are measured. What began as a small team in a borrowed facility has grown to more than 600 employees in Dallas, Texas, housed in a state-of-the art 350,000-square-foot factory. While impressive in size, our true growth is measured by our innovation, technological advances and performance. By the dynamic collections we introduce each year. By our commitment to, and the loyalty of, our retail customers. As well as by the countless furniture lovers who have become our biggest fans. And finally, by our resolve to do the right thing: maintain U.S. manufacturing jobs, meet retail partner and consumer needs, and enhance the quality of life of our employees – even as the industry continues to turn to offshore manufacturing. We remain firmly rooted in our heritage of speed, quality, and customization, and we especially value the entrepreneurial mindset that always asks: “Why not?” We believe it’s this approach to innovation that makes us stand apart – whether applied in our factory, a sofa design, an engineering advancement, or a brainstorming meeting. We look forward to all the future holds, while acknowledging the solid foundation for success that our history provides. And we look forward to continuing the journey with you, our valued partners, and gratefully acknowledge your role in our success – yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
