In the 1980s it became clear storage and organization was a booming industry. With the Vision, Mission, and Values in place, the company focused on growth with the development of new product lines, expanding current lines, and the strategic acquisition of the Tru-Space Company, which was a leader in the manufacturing of wood laminate storage and organization systems.
In 1986, when continued growth once again dictated expansion, the company decided to consolidate all its US manufacturing into one large state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bloomington, Indiana. The 680,000 square foot facility includes its own electrical sub-station to provide the very large power required for welders, ovens, coating lines, and other manufacturing equipment.
As the storage and organization market grew in popularity, the company acquired the brand name Organized Living. Through all acquisitions, SCHULTE continued to maintain its long-standing heritage of partnering with independent dealers, rather than big-box retailers. In January of 2013 SCHULTE, a 94-year-old company adopted its leading brand Organized Living as its new corporate name. The legacy of quality and innovative products for the home that began in 1919 continues today as Organized Living.
