About Us
With our roots extending back to the invention of the original “sleeper chair,” Durfold has continued to be a highly imitated and respected leader in healthcare furnishings.
Our designs, engineering efforts and manufacturing are exclusively focused on the unique and challenging healthcare environment, as well as, on the identification of best practices for the caregiver and the patient.
We are able to provide excellent design and product solutions because of our close relationships with healthcare providers throughout the nation and because we afford custom solutions to particular and unique needs. It is no surprise that Durfold’s success has been the result of spreading word-of-mouth recommendations from one provider to another. This has resulted in Durfold being known as “the best-kept secret in healthcare furniture.”
Sustainability
Concern for the environment has changed the way we live, work, and play. At Durfold, we find new ways to minimize our impact on the environment each day.
Environmental consideration is evident in the development of our products, the materials we use, our manufacturing processes, and every aspect of our operations, sales and delivery chain.
Driven by the increasing stewardship of our customers, implementing and adhering to environmental and sustainable standards are our responsibilities as a manufacturer and our obligation to the planet.
Along with our direct contribution to the global environmental effort toward responsibility, we also contract with many suppliers who also share our view that what we are able to do today for the sustaining of our planet will be appreciated for generations to come.
