Explorers explore. It’s what they do. They have a vision, then set out to accomplish it. Their daring is what sets them apart — they muster the drive and courage to see it through. At APG, we believe in better. We see beyond the now, redefine what’s possible, then do what it takes to make it a reality. Because we believe that vision is what separates good enough from great. And our sights are on great.
Our Roots Run Deep
Our founders built APG on a dream that they could improve the lives of office workers. By providing engaging workspaces for users and flexible solutions for employers, they built a foundation on which we stand today.
Tom Alexander and Chuck Patterson began APG Office Furnishings in Cincinnati, Ohio, bringing revolutionary Herman Miller office solutions to the tri-state region. Within a few short years, they had secured contracts with major corporations across southwest Ohio.
To serve the needs of these Dayton-area clients, a showroom was opened in the Dayton area. Following growing demand, APG established a showroom in downtown Cincinnati in 1979. In 2005, ownership of APG is transferred to the Goins family, who immediately grew the company to include Cleveland and Akron markets. Additional growth to include a Memphis office in 2009 created APG as we know it today.
With a focus on delivering high-performance spaces, APG expanded product offerings further in 2018. Along with Herman Miller and a group of other certified dealers, APG invested in Maars Living Walls. This exciting partnership sets the team apart with innovative, flexible wall solutions that enhance client spaces.
Currently WBENC certified, APG takes great pride in our diversity and insightful expertise to help organizations see fresh possibility for their space.
