Business Description
Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoemaker started Floral City Furniture in 1927,
and in 1928 the newly formed company introduced its first recliner. In 1941, we
were incorporated in the state of Michigan as La-Z-Boy Chair Company, and in 1996
we changed our name to La-Z-Boy Incorporated. Today, our La-Z-Boy brand is the
most recognized brand in the furniture industry.
We manufacture, market, import, export, distribute and retail upholstery furniture
