History
After working for years as a furniture manufacturing sales representative, Abel Zalcberg founded his own company in 1995. Using personal savings, he and his wife Barbara set up an office in their home, printed up a catalog and sold chairs from vendors Abel had worked with in the past. The company offered faster delivery times by keeping less inventory in stock.
Today, OFM provides furniture to general businesses and government offices, as well as schools and hospitals. The company’s products are also sold through catalogs and online dealers, including Officefurniture.com, Furnitureonline.com and Officedepot.com. It has 45 full-time employees. The Zalcbergs' son, Blake, serves as the company's chief executive officer.
The company's headquarters encompasses a 124,000-square-foot (11,500 m2) office and warehouse in Holly Springs, North Carolina. OFM contracts with manufacturers in Mexico, Taiwan, and China to design furniture and products.
In 2010, it installed a solar photovoltaic system on the roof of its main headquarters in Holly Springs, making it carbon-neutral and a certified New Renewable Energy Facility. The company secured a loan covering 100 percent of the cost of a 250-kilowatt solar-panel system for its rooftop. It later expanded the system and now has a total of 2,084 solar panels for a total 500-kilowatt system, making it one of the largest renewable energy projects among small businesses in the state.
The power generated through the solar panels is sold to Progress Energy.
