Knoll's defendable industry position, given its large installed base, strong reputation for design, and variable cost structure, as well as continued improvements in operating performance and strengthening credit-protection measures, offset company weaknesses. Knoll is a leading designer and manufacturer of branded office furniture and textiles. The estimated $10 billion U.S. office furniture industry is highly competitive, with five companies garnering a significant portion of the market. Among these five, Knoll is the smallest, with nearly $1.1 billion in revenues for the 12 months ended March 31, 2008.
