La-Z-Boy Chair Manufacturing Workstation, Monroe, Michigan, 1940-1959
Add to SetSummary
La-Z-Boy co-founders Edwin Shoemaker and Edward Knabusch built the company's first factory with very little outside help, completing it by 1928. The cousins planned for efficiency in their three-story structure from the start, but they always looked for ways to improve the factory layout and manufacturing process.
