Hickory's Welch joins ASFD board
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, November 9, 2009
Hickory, N.C. — Dwayne Welch, executive vice president of sales and marketing for components source Hickory Springs Mfg., has been named to the board of the American Society of Furniture Designers.
ASFD President Steve Hodges said Welch is a corporate member representative to the board.
"Dwayne's input is invaluable as we move forward, particularly on issues related to sustainable or 'green' furniture. We have also been impressed with the direction of Hickory Springs' Earth Care Inside program and its impact on the furniture industry," said Hodges.
Earth Care Inside is Hickory Springs' program highlighting the sustainable and recycled content found in the components it produces for seating and furniture manufacturers, including its soy-based Preserve brand foam.
"As a component supplier, part of my interest in being on the (ASFD) board is the opportunity for the company to work more closely with the design community to create a new vision of the future of the furniture industry," said Welch.
Welch has been with Hickory Springs for 18 years and earlier worked in furniture retailing for five years as president of the Hickory Furniture Mart in Hickory, N.C.
