HICKORY, NC —Century Furniture, a custom home furnishing company in business since 1947, is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. The company, founded by Harley F. Shuford S.r, focuses on luxury hand-crafted upholstered furniture and case goods made in North Carolina. Now in its third generation of family ownership, Century has more than 800 associates.
“We are excited to celebrate this milestone with our associates both past and present,” said Alex Shuford III, president of Century and CEO of Rock House Farm Family of Brands. “It is increasingly rare to see successful family businesses, and we attribute every year of success to the many hands and hearts that have graced our company through the years. Their dedication and passion have carried us to this moment, and we are excited to build on this foundation and look forward to continued growth and innovation in the years ahead.”
Century has been celebrating throughout the year with monthly cash drawings for associates, special gatherings and a photography campaign that centers around imagery of associates captured throughout the year. A curated exhibition of these images will be displayed at each of the company’s locations as well as during the October High Point Market.
