June 4, 2007—Concept Industries, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, announces the production of the first natural fiber mat made for office furniture panels, provided for commercial use by HON Company, marketed under the name Nature Core. HON is introducing Nature Core as an option on its Initiate line of office systems.
Nature Core is the first product to come to market that is a renewable replacement for fiberglass and other synthetic materials that have long been the only options for office furniture. Nature Core is a composite of natural fiber and a small amount of synthetic stabilizer. It is not only a renewable agricultural fiber, but it is also recyclable.
Nature Core is the result of two years of research and development, and is the first of many new environmentally friendly products that Concept Industries is bringing to market.
Concept Industries is a leading innovator of custom, non-woven materials engineered to meet its customers’ unique needs. For more information, see the Web site.
