It's Our Birthday! Celebrating 41 Years in Business
Conklin started as an office supply company in the mid 1950s. After coming under the ownership management of the Arnold family in 1981, Conklin established itself as a pioneer in office furniture recycling and remanufacturing. We set out on a mission 41 years ago to enable a circular economy where no material is left unaccounted for, all energy consumption is balanced, and all carbon emissions are offset. Our office furniture reconditioning and remanufacturing efforts offer endless opportunities for reuse and recycling while providing businesses with the best furniture options and services on the market.
We've has been through many transformations since 1981. In 2019, we found our home at 75 Appleton St in Holyoke, MA, housing all of our operations under one roof. Conklin is powered by nearly 900KWh clean electricity each year, thanks to the 2,600 solar panels housed on top of their 300k square foot facility. Our neighborhood has undergone major regrowth as a creative district. As one of the city's largest employers, we're proud to be part of Holyoke's economic revitalization.
The one thing about Conklin's history that has never wavered is our commitment to making meaningful decisions that impact tomorrow. We use the most sustainable processes to recondition and remanufacture office furniture. On top of that, we operate on 900KWh of clean electricity every year, thanks to the 2,600 solar panels housed on our roof.
