Chicago, IL. June 1, 2023 – Allsteel, a leading manufacturer of contract furnishings, announces that Corporate Business Interiors, Inc. (CBI), a Southern California family-owned company and aligned dealer of Allsteel, is acquiring another Southern California Allsteel dealer, CSI-Fullmer.
CBI will be acquiring the CSI-Fullmer location in Pasadena to better serve LA-based clients, advance its business reach, and further solidify its leadership strength in the Los Angeles market. CBI anticipates that the acquisition will grow and enhance internal support teams, allowing it to better serve all its clients in both LA and OC. CBI services important industries and organizations from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies in Commercial, Education, Healthcare, Government and Multifamily.
“The Los Angeles market is six times larger than the Orange County market, so it offers tremendous growth potential for CBI,” said Darren Stiles, CBI President. “We’ve been serving LA clients successfully for the past 43 years from our Orange County location but having a strong presence and separate division in LA will enable us to grow our business exponentially, while better serving our LA-based real estate brokers, architect and design firms with more responsiveness and convenient local offices.”
CSI-Fullmer’s heavy involvement in public sector organizations including higher education and government agencies will bring expertise and a client-base that will expand CBI’s portfolio. Existing clients of CSI-Fullmer will be transitioned to CBI and will still maintain the same relationships that CSI-Fullmer reps have built together.
As CSI’s #1 manufacturer partner, Allsteel fully supports this acquisition, and will play a major role in helping transition CSI Fullmer clients seamlessly to CBI. With the CBI team welcoming all CSI Fullmer staff, both new and existing staff should expect to see a change in added corporate and factory support, as well as a strong integrated culture. This acquisition will allow CBI to better service all of Southern California, as well as the entire United States and abroad, while simultaneously building recognition of the Allsteel brand.
