HNI Corporation

HNI Corporation was founded in 1947 in Muscatine, Iowa, by visionaries C. Maxwell Stanley, Clement Hanson, and H. Wood Miller. From its earliest days, HNI established a groundbreaking premise: to operate as an industrial enterprise where all individuals are treated equally and respectfully as both members and owners.

This foundational philosophy continues to shape HNI Corporation’s vibrant culture, where team members are known as ‘members’ and nearly all are shareholders. Empowered to think and act like owners, they are trusted to make business-improving decisions, fostering a powerful environment of accountability, respect, and integrity. With roots in Muscatine, Iowa, HNI offers a unique setting for those seeking to contribute to a shared success story.
