Whitewood Industries, Inc. have been producing and importing furniture since 1982. The company was founded in Greensboro, North Carolina, as a wholesaler of unfinished furniture. North Carolina is known for furniture manufacturing and Whitewood started out as one of the many companies catering to this industry in the area. They supplied furniture to retail stores throughout the eastern United States, and it wasn’t long before they began manufacturing their own furniture products, assembling furniture at their own facilities. By 1987 they were importing chair components and assembling them. Finished furniture was added to the company’s product line before too long. By the year 2000, their line of finished furniture became large enough to be branded separately from Whitewood, being sold under the John Thomas Furniture brand.
