Celebrating Excellence:
Jensen Outdoor Recognized for Outstanding Quality, Design, and Sustainability in Luxury Outdoor Furniture by the International Casual Furnishings Association for 2024.
Sandston, VA — Jensen Outdoor is proud to announce its recognition by the International Casual Furniture Association as a recipient of the ICFA Manufacturer Leadership Award 2024. This award positions Jensen as a finalist for the Manufacturer of the Year, highlighting our commitment to quality, design, and sustainability in the luxury outdoor furniture industry. We extend our gratitude to the ICFA member retailers, manufacturers, and sales representatives who nominated us, and we congratulate our fellow nominees as we await the announcement of the Manufacturer of the Year Award at the ICFA Awards Gala in July.
Jensen Outdoor is honored to be nominated in this category for a record eighth time since the award’s inception in 2010. The ICFA Manufacturer Leadership Award 2024 reflects our dedication to creating heirloom-quality, sustainable outdoor furniture. The nomination criteria—quality of manufactured goods, design, merchandising, customer service, ethics, trade relations, and communications—underscore the “Made to Inspire” core values our entire team upholds every day. We are immensely proud to be recognized among the top leaders in our industry.
Eric Parsons, President of Jensen Outdoor, expressed his gratitude: “I am pleased to share that the retailers, sales reps, and manufacturers across our industry have acknowledged the exceptional efforts and performance of our Jensen Outdoor team by recognizing us as one of the top organizations for the Manufacturer Leadership Awards for 2024. This is an honor we should all be proud to receive. I want to thank all of our team members for the part they play in making Jensen a leader in our industry. Without each of them performing at the top of their game, we would not be able to achieve at such a high level.”
As we celebrate this nomination, we also take this opportunity to congratulate our fellow nominees for 2024: Berlin Gardens, Castelle, Ebel Inc., Frankford Umbrellas, Telescope Casual Furniture, and Tuuci. Each of these companies has demonstrated exceptional dedication and innovation in our shared industry, and we are honored to be recognized alongside them.
The ICFA Awards Gala, hosted by ANDMORE at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, will reveal the Manufacturer of the Year on Tuesday, July 16. This event is a significant gathering for the outdoor furnishings industry, celebrating top retail stores, manufacturers, and sales representatives. We are excited to join our peers in recognizing the best in the business and look forward to the announcement with great anticipation.
In addition to our nomination, we are thrilled to tease the reveal of our 2025 season new products introductions at the upcoming Casual Market Atlanta, July 15-18, 2024 at our Atlanta Showroom. Our new collections promise to deliver the highest quality, sustainable luxury outdoor furniture, crafted to inspire and elevate outdoor living spaces.
