Innovation and quality craftsmanship keep Three H Furniture at the top of its game

The president of the New Liskeard furniture manufacturer has seen the company weather a few storms in its 50-plus years of operation, most notably a roof collapse following a winter snowfall in 2014 that knocked the factory’s field of manufacturing equipment out of commission, hampering operations for a few weeks.

That persistence could be inherited from his father, Heinz Dittmann, who emigrated to Canada from Germany following the Second World War. For those who knew the elder Dittmann, one of the words often used to describe him is kind. He went about his business ensuring that employees felt heard, and he treated them with respect.

More than 60 per cent of their products head to the U.S., mostly in the educational and office markets, a growing field, despite changes to office spaces across the continent. “It's not just let's make a desk and not worry about how someone's going to use it. We also look at asking if we can make that product better? Can we make it more functional?”In June, Three H’s new Hudson line was selected by Interior Design as a winner in its annual HiP Awards for Workplace Furniture Systems, which celebrates the most innovative products and people in the commercial design industry.

“We think it's a testament to the strength of our collaborative design process,” Binnendyk said. “It's just another element to support our overall design with intent proposition.” “We stand out by our humanity,” he said. “We're responsive, we're reliable, with that core value of thoughtfulness.
