What National Office does
National Office is a Cleveland, Ohio-based office furniture dealer and manufacturer operating through three wholly owned divisions since 1967. The company's core technology combines owned manufacturing capabilities, including a powder coating system and CNC equipment, for its proprietary gen2 mid-market line of workstations, desks, benching, tables, and storage solutions, alongside a 70+ partner dealer ecosystem covering seating, architectural solutions, acoustics, and accessories. The business serves corporate offices, healthcare facilities, K-12 and higher education institutions, federal/state/local government agencies via GSA and State Term Schedule contracts, and the architecture and design community across NE Ohio and nationwide. Revenue is generated through one-time furniture sales (including factory-direct gen2 pricing), furniture leasing via partner companies, temporary furniture rentals, and professional services including complimentary space planning, design, installation, reconfiguration, and removal. The company is family-owned under second-generation CEO Gregory Schneider and operates from a Brook Park headquarters with manufacturing facility and two Cleveland-area showrooms.
