For nearly eight decades, Empire has helped shape the way workplaces take form—supporting clients with a level of precision, partnership, and consistency that became the foundation of our reputation. What began as a single office in New York grew steadily into a national organization grounded in operational excellence and trusted relationships.
Over the past several years, the world around us has evolved. The way people work has transformed. Residential, hospitality, healthcare, and education environments have elevated their expectations. Developers are embracing new models. And our clients—many of whom we’ve partnered with for decades—began asking us to support them across a broader spectrum of spaces.
We listened.
We adapted.
And we grew.
Today, Empire supports environments where people work, live, stay, learn, and gather—delivering end-to-end FF&E solutions across more industries than ever before. We’ve expanded our footprint to 10 office locations, 16 warehouse hubs, and 700+ partner locations. We’ve strengthened our capabilities through acquisitions like Model Home Interiors. And we’ve invested in technology that brings greater clarity and connection to every project, from design through installation.
As our company evolved, it became clear that our brand needed to evolve with us.
Introducing Empire & Co.
Empire & Co. reflects the organization we are today and the future we are building.
It brings together our legacy in workplace interiors with our growing expertise across hospitality, residential, healthcare, education, and retail. It unites our capabilities—design, procurement, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, installation—under one clear and elevated identity.
And most importantly, it positions us as a partner shaping the future of spaces with the scale, sophistication, and connectivity required in today’s market.
Empire & Co. communicates what our clients already experience: that we are your partner in place, delivering end-to-end support for any environment, anywhere in the country.
Why Now
Our evolution has been underway for years. We expanded our national footprint to meet client demand. We strengthened our logistics and warehouse network to support multi-location portfolios. We launched new digital tools—including Empire Shop, Procore integrations, and Studio AI—to streamline procurement, improve transparency, and accelerate decision-making.
And we broadened our reach into sectors that blend lifestyle, brand experience, and hospitality-driven design.
With this growth, we needed a brand that could carry us forward: one that honors our legacy while embracing the opportunities ahead.
Empire & Co. is the result.
What Remains the Same
While our name is evolving, our foundation remains unchanged:
· Our ownership and leadership
· Our commitment to partnership
· Our values and approach
· The people behind every project
· The reliability and precision that clients have trusted for decades
Every client will continue to work with the same teams, the same processes, and the same commitment to excellence that define us.
What’s New
Empire & Co. strengthens the way we communicate the full breadth of our capabilities. It brings clarity to how we design, furnish, and manage environments across categories. It connects all of our service lines and acquired companies under one unified brand architecture.
It also gives us the platform to continue investing in technology, expanding our national reach, and shaping spaces that perform beautifully, operationally, and experientially.
Looking Ahead
We are proud of where we’ve come from—and even more energized by where we are heading.
Empire & Co. is more than a new name.
It is a commitment to the future.
A reflection of our growth.
And a promise to our partners.
Whether we’re designing a model home, furnishing a headquarters, shaping a hospitality experience, or delivering a multi-site rollout, our purpose remains the same:
To shape the future of spaces, together.
Thank you to our employees, our partners, our clients, and our community for helping bring this next chapter to life.
We’re just getting started.
