APG was founded in 1969 by Tom Alexander and Chuck Patterson. Their vision was to introduce a new approach to the office furniture industry. They learned that the market was looking for a company that could handle their furniture needs beyond the initial purchase, to include other ancillary needs, such as design, space planning, and installation. Their strategy soon had APG recognized as a full-service organization, and served as the impetus for future growth.

Equally important to APG’s initial success was the introduction of the Herman Miller product to the market. Action Office, the world’s first open plan office furniture system, revolutionized the way people worked. Tom and Chuck recognized the impact this would have on the industry and quickly became a Herman Miller Certified Dealership.

Now in its fourth decade, APG has expanded its services to include project management, asset inventory control and management, reconfiguration, move management, document storage and healthcare. Our showrooms in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, and Akron are reflective of the manufacturers that we work with, now totaling over 200.

From its first "home" office, to its status today as the areas only Herman Miller Certified Dealership, APG has stayed ahead of the curve by addressing the needs of the market before the competition, and more importantly, putting the customer first.
