Flexsteel Industries, Inc. · Dubuque, IA United States ·(NASDAQ (GM): FLXS)

Are you sitting down for this? If not, Flexsteel Industries might ask why. It's not as if the firm hasn't given you plenty of options. Flexsteel makes wood and upholstered furniture for the home, office, recreational vehicle, health care, and hotel markets. Most of its products -- including recliners, swivel rockers, sofas, and sofa beds -- incorporate a unique unitized spring for which the company is named.

That year Flexsteel acquired subsidiary DMI Furniture, which imports most of its products from Asia. To read the full description, subscribe now.
