OFM Issues Clarification and Apology

 2.26.10 | HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. | OFM, one of the nation's leading office and school furniture manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers, apologizes to the employee-owners, public shareholders, business partners, and residing communities of Herman Miller, Inc., and issues this clarification of a press release from February 24, 2010 about the museum exhibition featuring Herman Miller.

The wording of the press release may have led some readers to think OFM is affiliated with Herman Miller and/or uses its AERON chair mesh concept and technology. This is not correct.  OFM has no relationship to Herman Miller and did not intend to trade on Herman Miller's legacy or reputation.

OFM regrets any confusion this press release may have caused. Herman Miller officials have expressed their satisfaction with the apology received from OFM, and its representative, and anticipate no further action.
