HOLLAND, Mich — Haworth, Inc. announces that its global sales for 2012 were $1.31 billion. The overall sales numbers for 2012 are down five percent from 2011, which the company attributes to the sales of two partner companies, Castelli and Groupe Lacasse.

The company continues to grow worldwide, including in Asia and Latin America.

“We are satisfied with our 2012 results in what was a challenging economic environment for our industry in many parts of the world,” said Franco Bianchi, Haworth president and CEO, in a media release.

Haworth received Contract Magazine’s Best Large Showroom award at NeoCon for the fourth time in eight years, while four products were recognized as the Best of NeoCon.
