Ethan Allen (NYSE: ETH) announces its plans for a nationwide
campaign focused on Celebrating American Innovation. The
company will celebrate the pride it takes in its innovative
craftsmanship, technology, service, and exciting
diversity of styles, which mirrors American diversity
itself.
�I came to the United States at age 21, and, as an American by
choice, I�m keenly aware of how this remarkable country constantly
offers up opportunities for excellence and innovation� said Farooq
Kathwari, President & CEO of Ethan Allen. �
At its start, the company offered only Early American and
Colonial designs. Today, in what Mr. Kathwari refers to as �The
American period of home furnishings design,� Ethan Allen�s designs
are a fresh American interpretation of styles and inspiration that
come to America from all corners of the world. This spring�from
April 23rd through June 15th�the
company will be Celebrating American Innovation with
special celebration pricing on new, eco-friendly, and
other selected furniture and accessories (visit ethanallen.com,
keyword search �celebration� for the whole list).
"I�m happy to share the news that we have received the 2009
Vermont Governor�s Award for Environmental Excellence and Pollution
Prevention for initiatives in our plants in Vermont. We�ve had
our Beecher Falls, Vermont factory since 1936, and it�s a great
source of pride for all of us that it and our seven other U.S.
plants are still in operation today. We all strongly believe in
keeping alive the best traditions while always seeking to enhance
them with the best innovations,� said Mr. Kathwari. The Governor of
Vermont presented the award at a ceremony on April 20th in
Montpelier.
Lasting quality and careful attention to detail are cornerstones
of the company. Approximately sixty-five percent of Ethan
Allen�s products are made in America, and all are made to the
company�s high standards. Exceptional service�from complimentary
design service with in-house calls, to free local white-glove
delivery and set-up�is an integral part of Ethan Allen�s value and
sets the company apart in an age of sameness.
Fine craftsmanship, advanced technology�in the plants and on the
company�s innovative new website (ethanallen.com)�and the personal
services of design professionals gives Ethan Allen its unique
position as a full-service, interior design company with a
wide-reaching retail, manufacturing, and distribution network.
Visitors to ethanallen.com can shop online and even plan
ahead for later purchases using an online tool called My
Projects. There, they can create idea boards (downloading
photos, fabric swatches, and more) and collaborate online
with a design pro from an Ethan Allen Design Center.
�A 77-year history of craftsmanship, technology, service, and
style makes all of us at Ethan Allen very proud to be
Celebrating American Innovation� said Mr. Kathwari.
