Leggett Business Platforms

Traditionally, Leggett & Platt has been identified as the world's leading supplier of a broad line of components for home, office and institutional furnishings. With a focus on profitable growth, we have expanded our business platforms beyond furnishings to commercial fixtures and displays, aluminum die castings, and specialized materials, materials processing, equipment and technologies.

Furnishings
Leggett's broad line of components and systems for bedding, furniture and other furnishings is unmatched...worldwide. Leggett also makes and sells a full line of carpet underlay for residential and commercial markets, nonskid pads for area rugs and other applications, and some sleep-related furniture. Manufacturers, distributors, retailers and institutions of all sizes depend on Leggett & Platt for efficient low cost production of quality products, delivered when and where needed.

Fixtures & Displays
 Leggett's rapidly growing business in commercial markets includes point-of-purchase displays used by manufacturers of packaged goods and custom shelving, counters, racks, displays and fixtures retailers buy to furnish their stores. Material handling, shelving and storage fixtures for food service, office and industrial applications are also produced. Like other Leggett products, these fixtures and displays are made of metal, wire, tubing, wood and plastic in various shapes and finished forms.

Aluminum Die Castings
 Over the years, Leggett & Platt's aluminum operations have established leadership positions in various markets, such as castings used by manufacturers of gas barbecue grills, outdoor lighting fixtures, furniture, electric motors and clean-room flooring for facilities requiring sterile environments. Castings are also produced for mid-size gasoline engines, mid- to large-size diesel engines and other commercial and industrial products. Recent acquisitions have also significantly expanded production of castings and value added services for makers of telecommunications and consumer electronics equipment.

 Advancing technologies in materials, materials processing and equipment is a Leggett hallmark. Internal production of wire, steel tubing, aluminum ingot and dimension lumber helps assure quality, low cost and supply for many Leggett operations. State-of-the-art quilting, sewing and wire forming machines, material handling and other specialized equipment are also designed and built by Leggett companies. In addition to supplying some of Leggett's needs, these operations have profitable trade sales in a variety of markets.
