About Hekman Furniture Company
Edsko Hekman ventured from the Netherlands to Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1893 hoping to find his life's work as a furniture maker. The Panic of 1893, however, led him to return to his first profession as a baker, and Edsko founded the Hekman Biscuit Company, which later became the Keebler Company.
Edsko's enchantment with furniture, crafted in the old-world traditions, later blossomed in his three sons John, Jelle, and Henry. They fulfilled their father's dream and opened the doors of the Hekman Furniture Company in 1922. The same doors, in the same location, are open today.
The careful selection of ingredients, the patient hands-on techniques, and the exacting presentation - these are the shared passions of the baker and his furniture-making sons, and they remain the hallmarks of the Hekman Furniture Company today. Now, more than a century old, Hekman is widely recognized as one of America's premier furniture makers.
