Carolina Taps Sister Companies First Office, Loewenstein, Ofs To Expand Product Offerings For The Healthcare Market
NASHVILLE, Tenn.– Carolina, a leading manufacturer of furniture for healthcare environments, is tapping into the product portfolios of its sister OFS Brands companies to provide single-source solutions for every area in healthcare environments. Carolina will introduce First Office, Loewenstein and OFS products to the healthcare design community at Healthcare Design 2011, the leading conference for healthcare design, planning, and research professionals.
“Healthcare design professionals have long relied upon Carolina as a resource for public and patient areas,” explained Stan Gray, Carolina’s brand director. “As part of OFS Brands, Carolina can offer, as a single source with common finishes and palettes, solutions for every possible environment in healthcare.”
Mr. Gray pointed out that that swivel and guest seating by First Office and reception and desking products from OFS can be specified for medical office facilities and physicians’ offices, while Loewenstein offers a wide range of tables and chairs that can be used in dining areas.
“We believe that healthcare design professionals will benefit from the ease of specifying a complete range of products that not only share coordinating colors and finishes, but also are sustainably produced and bear a wide range of third-party environmental certifications,” said Mr. Gray.
In addition to the First Office, Loewenstein and OFS products shown at Healthcare Design 2011, Carolina is also featuring its own Interlude, a family of seating products, and Commons, the award-winning lounge system.
“We’ve added eight new powder coat options to Commons for a total of 11 metal finish options. Colors include bone white, beige, taupe, greys and other sophisticated neutrals,” said Mr. Gray. “To complement this expanded palette of finishes, we’ve also added a beige poly-resin arm cap option.”
