Our Environmental Commitment

American Atelier Inc. is committed to manufacturing furniture utilizing the most environmentally friendly technology in an efficient and responsible manner while maintaining our standards of excellence. Four generations of ownership at American Atelier Inc. have demonstrated the company's commitment to excellence by continuously improving our manufacturing processes and using them effectively since our founding in 1920.

AAI has sourced raw materials through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). Our manufacturing process uses water-based adhesives, finishing solvents and stains, and recycled materials as specified by our customers without compromising workmanship and durability while promoting better local air quality with lower chemical emissions.

Each piece of furniture is hand-wrapped using recycled paper and reusable blankets that are returned to AAI after each delivery. Many of our suppliers are located within a 500-mile radius of our Allentown, PA manufacturing location. Our delivery process supports fuel conservation by scheduling back hauls for new product deliveries.

At AAI we heat our 160,000 sq. ft. factory and 40,000 sq. ft warehouse by utilizing our own scrap materials as an alternative to fossil fuels. AAI is registered with the NEWH Green Initiative working to promote efficient operation and to reduce any negative environmental impact.
