Broad incumbents

• Teknion: Office furniture and modular wall systems manufacturer that IPI is factory-certified to install. Teknion's own project services and certified installer network serve the same modular wall and commercial interior niche as IPI.
• Haworth: Major office furniture manufacturer and IPI certification partner. Haworth's own installation services and authorized dealer/installer network compete with IPI for premium commercial installation work in California and beyond.
• KI: Major office and institutional furniture manufacturer listed as an IPI customer/installation partner. KI's national dealer/installer ecosystem overlaps with IPI's commercial installation services across corporate and institutional clients.
• Steelcase: Largest global office furniture manufacturer and a key IPI certification partner. Steelcase operates its own installation and dealer/installer networks, making it both a customer channel for IPI and a broad incumbent in the same commercial interior services ecosystem.
• DIRTT Environmental Solutions: Modular wall and interior solutions manufacturer that IPI is certified to install. DIRTT's vertically integrated installation capabilities compete with IPI's specialized wall project services, particularly in Southern California where IPI claims market leadership.
• MillerKnoll: Parent of Herman Miller and Knoll, both of which IPI is certified to install for. MillerKnoll's national dealer and installation partner network overlaps IPI's service offering in commercial office furniture installation at much greater scale.
• CORT: National furniture rental and installation services provider serving corporate relocation, residential, and trade show customers. CORT's scale and bundled rental-plus-installation model partially overlaps with IPI's relocation and commercial installation services.
• Kimball International: Office furniture manufacturer (parent of National Office Furniture) and an IPI installation partner. Kimball's dealer/installer network provides an alternative channel that competes with independent installers like IPI.
