December 2007 From Hot Seat
Harden Furniture has faced what manufacturers in places such as North Carolina and Virginia call “globalization issues” for decades. Located in the upstate New York town of McConnellsville, the company, whose roots date to a saw-milling operation, committed its fortunes to making furniture in 1884, drawing from timberlands it owned and had under contract for raw materials.
