President and Founder Peter Conway believes that the new employees and new product lines that were added in 2011 has positioned the Stewartville-based HALCON Corporation for growth in 2012.
Halcon Corporation, founded in 1977, produces wood furnishing products. Its products include case goods, open office furnishings, conference furnishings, training tables, occasional tables, guest seating chairs and lounge seating sofas.
“We hired 100 people, added to our factory, bought new equipment and increased our capacity in 2011,” Conway said. “We have had a very good year.”
“We made the decision during the recession to be aggressive in product development and marketing,” he said. “During that time, my son, Benjamin, was assigned the oversight of the engineering, product development and marketing. He is my Executive Vice President, and he has done a great job!”
Unveiled at the June NeoCon in Chicago, Conway said that their MOTUS furniture collection received the “Best of Competition Award” selected from 325 product entries. HALCON also received a “Best of NeoCon® Gold Award” in the Tables: Training & Work category and a “Best of NeoCon® Silver Award” for Conference Room Furniture. Recognized for its innovative executive-level folding tables, MOTUS allows effortless transformation from boardroom to flexible multi-use space.
The MOTUS product line is a revolutionary conferencing solution for elegant corporate spaces. It was designed by George Miller-Ramos, James Lawrence, and Mark Von Der Heide. The collection of adaptable folding tables and mobile accessories allows effortless transformation from boardroom to flexible multi-use space.
The annual NeoCon®, the National Exposition of Contract Furnishings, is North America’s largest exhibition of contract furnishings for the design and management of the built environment. NeoCon features the latest design trends, products, and concepts in office, healthcare, hospitality, residential, institutional and government interior environments.
“Our plan for 2012 is to stay aggressive in product development,” Conway said. HALCON’s customers are primarily in the United States, with a few international customers and some in the Mideast. “We did all of the furnishings for the Kuwaiti Parliament building,” he said.
They produce furniture for a lot of law firms and investment firms. “They like to have a beautiful office environment for their client and attorney offices,” he said. “We offer the best design and best quality. We offer a better product at a better value.”
Conway said that his 280 employees come from Stewartville and the surrounding area. “The City of Stewartville has been great to work with,” he said. “Whether it is the city council or the fire department, they have been very cooperative.”
