One of the most prominent manufacturers of office furniture in North America, Krug owes its reputation for high-quality, durable pieces to its heritage of fine cabinetry. The company was founded in 1880 by Hartman Krug, a master craftsman of German origin. Krug’s first factory was in Berlin, Ontario. By the turn of the century, the young company offered multiple product lines, and by the 1940’s Krug was a premier supplier of infrastructure for the Canadian government’s war effort.
