It began in 1893 when Edsko Hekman ventured from the Netherlands to Grand Rapids, Michigan hoping to find his life’s work as a furniture maker. Edsko’s enchantment with furniture, crafted in the old-world traditions, would later blossom in his three sons John, Jelle and Henry. They would fulfill their father’s dream and open the doors of the Hekman Furniture Company in 1922. In 1993, Hekman acquired Woodmark Furniture, an upholstery company founded by Elliot Wood whose discriminating standards were a perfect match to Hekman’s long tradition of excellence. The company now enjoyed a position of strength in its ability to offer its customer superior case goods and the finest in upholstery. Now, almost a century old, Hekman is widely recognized as one of America’s premier furniture suppliers. Hekman Contract provides a comprehensive line of Higher ED room furniture, tables and seating. Hekman Contract is ideally suited to meet the rigorous needs of the university marketplace with a collection of case goods and upholstered furnishings, backed by over 90 years of design and manufacturing expertise.
