The impact of globalization and the emergence of China hit the heart of the furniture industry in North Carolina with devastating results. Some 67% of the wood working jobs were eliminated state wide as many companies either closed or moved their production to Asia. This did not stop Century Furniture. Century modified their manufacturing techniques, their sourcing and developed creative marketing and manufacturing solutions that resulted in a new and more powerful competitor.
In this 50 min interview, join JD and his special guest, Robert Maricich, President and CEO of Century Furniture, for a lesson in global leadership and how one company survived and thrived from globalization.
