Emeco Industries is a furniture maker based in Hanover, Pennsylvania, founded in 1944 to produce lightweight, corrosion‑resistant chairs for the US Navy from salvaged aluminum. Over time, the materials focus shifted toward repurposing waste into durable seating designed to last for decades, reflecting an emphasis on minimizing environmental impact. The company operates in the furniture and home furnishings manufacturing sector, and its approach centers on keeping discarded materials out of oceans and landfills while turning them into lasting pieces. Emeco’s customers include designers and corporate buyers who value durable seating produced with recycled materials. The company has collaborated with notable designers and brands, including Naoto Fukasawa and Coca-Cola, and has formed partnerships with Haworth and BMW to provide sustainably designed seating options. In 2023, Emeco introduced Birds by Yun Li, a small collection of chairs made from recycled aluminum, reflecting ongoing product development in line with its waste-to-furniture mission.
