Why
AIS versus other manufacturers?
With so many systems furniture options in the
marketplace, deciding who to ultimately purchase from
can be confusing. The product choices and feature
benefits are vast, but at the end of the day there are
many manufacturers that offer quality systems furniture
with negligible product differences. With that in mind,
what sets AIS apart?
Trust
and stability
·
From 2000-2007 AIS has grown from $20M in sales to over
$90M almost 400% more than the industry. Financially
stable and well capitalized, AIS is now in the top 10
systems furniture companies by volume in the US.
·
AIS is more profitable than virtually any competitor,
even while being the low price provider and having lower
gross profit than others. Lean and profitable means
value to the consumer.
