Facilities Magazine Award
In December, 2006, Cleveland-based National Office Services, Inc., was awarded the prestigious Reader's Choice Award from Today's Facility Manager for the category of "NATION'S BEST PROVIDER OF REFURBISHED/ REMANUFACTURED OFFICE FURNITURE".

2006 was TFM's 14th annual Reader's Choice competition. "The purpose of the award is to raise awareness of - and support for - first class products, services and solutions within the facility management community," stated Susan Coene, publisher of TFM. "Our dedicated readers are personally, professionally and often passionately involved in purchasing products and services for their facilities. Their recognition is hard to win, and is thus all the more valuable when, like this, it is given in an open competition."

In order to determine the 2006 Reader's Choice awards TFM conducted two nationwide surveys - one aided and one unaided - with 10,000 TFM subscribers to evaluate preferred suppliers among the magazine's readers.

Established in 1967, National Office Services, Inc. is the nation's foremost producer of refurbished and remanufactured office furniture. In the company's forty years of experience, National Office has developed numerous proprietary remanufacturing processes and systems. And the extent of these unique procedures has led the firm to recently formalize its exclusive capabilities under the brand name " gen²® hybrid office furniture."

The gen²® brand of office furniture presently includes hybrid workstations, files, ergonomic seating, freestanding desk systems, prestigious executive furniture, floor-to-ceiling hybrid panel systems, and conference and training tables.

The gen²® brand of hybrid workstations from National Office represents the re-utilization of select Steelcase® Avenir™ or 9000 Series™ workstation components which are remanufactured together with new gen²® parts, panel trim, pedestals, worksurfaces, fabrics and finishes to create a finished product that looks and performs as good or better than factory original.

For many corporations, institutions and organizations whose mission is achieving a "greener" office environment, the purchase of gen²® brand hybrid furniture represents the ideal solution...without any sacrifice to appearance, performance and style. Since all gen²® brand hybrid office furniture is produced using a major percentage of remanufactured components, the environmental impact is significant and far-reaching, such as...
