Hearts.Emeco2025-11-21 | A day at the Emeco factory in Hanover, Pennsylvania, where our craftsmen have handcrafted furniture from recycled aluminum since 1944. We still deploy the same unique 77-step craft process we first developed for the iconic 1006 Navy chair, created for US Navy warships and submarines in the 1940s and built so strong it comes with a lifetime warranty. Cutting, bending, forming, stamping, welding, grinding, heat treating, hand brushing, anodizing are some of the steps needed to turn ordinary scrap aluminum into chairs of extraordinary strength. It takes a human eye to know when the process is done right. And it takes human hands to get it that way.

They make the company.Emeco Triennale Milano 2024Emeco2024-04-24 | As part of our 80th celebrations, Emeco’s journey was on exhibition at Triennale Milano, one of the world’s leading cultural institutions, located in the center of Milan, during Milan Design Week, April 16-21, 2024.
