Description

Founded in 1931, Magnussen Home began as a small maker of occasional tables and has grown to become a leading full-line furniture supplier. Understanding that retailers require more than just products to fill their floors, we have built our bussiness on three enduring core value: trust, honesty and respect.

Through more than 20 years of experience in offshore sourcing, we have developed unparalleled manufacturing relationships and capabilities. Two technologically advanced, climate controlled Asian warehouses facilitate quick shipment of your orders while providing protection against costly damage from swelling and mold. Streamlined logistics systems deliver exceptional lead times and empower you to tailor your assortments and quantities to your demand.

CH Global also serves people in the developing world, but focuses its resources on individuals whose disabilities create exceptional needs. A faith-based organization and registered Canadian charity, CH Global was founded in 1991. Responding to the staggering needs of disabled persons in developing countries, it focuses on improving living conditions, championing human rights, promoting social awareness, providing education and training to create greater opportunities for its clients.

As the 20th Century came to a close, furniture manufacturers around the world began tapping into a huge growth opportunity. Among the first to take advantage of this opportunity, Magnussen-Presidential Furniture started importing from Asia in the late 1980s, a decade before this trend caught on in the broader furniture trade. The relationships, infrastructure and skills we developed during this ten-year period empowered us to provide our customers with beautifully designed, high quality, high value furnishings, delivered in lead times and at service levels that are unrivalled in the industry.

Ingwer Magnussen founded our company in 1931, in the town of Kitchener, Ontario. A cabinetmaker by trade and a craftsman and businessman at heart, Ingwer took the bold step of starting his own company when he was unable to find work during the Great Depression. Serving Canadian upholstery manufacturers, he created beautiful, intricately carved show wood for sofa frames, earning a reputation that allowed his young business to grow into a good-sized company. Over the years, Magnussen Home has continued to grow, expanding to become a global enterprise.
