MARCH 2026 (TUALATIN, OREGON) – Hartmann&Forbes has been recognized by Oregon Business as one of the 2026 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon, a distinction that reflects the company’s enduring commitment to its people, culture, and the values that guide its work.

For nearly three decades, Hartmann&Forbes has built its reputation on a foundation of craftsmanship, thoughtful growth, and a deep respect for the artisans and teams who bring its products to life. The recognition from Oregon Business acknowledges the environment the company has cultivated—one that prioritizes integrity, collaboration, and long-term stewardship of both craft and community.

“At Hartmann&Forbes, our work begins with a belief that craft and culture are inseparable,” says CEO and Founder Michael Jones. “From the artisans who weave our materials to the teams who bring them to the design community, the strength of our company has always come from the people behind the work. This recognition reflects the care, dedication, and shared values that guide us every day.”

The Best Companies to Work For in Oregon program evaluates organizations through a comprehensive employee survey and employer questionnaire, measuring factors such as workplace culture, leadership, benefits, and overall employee experience.

For Hartmann&Forbes, the recognition reinforces a philosophy that has shaped the company since its founding: that enduring products are created through enduring relationships—with artisans, employees, and partners alike.

As the company continues its measured growth and expanding presence within the global design community, Hartmann&Forbes remains committed to preserving the traditions of handcraft while fostering a workplace culture rooted in respect, purpose, and longevity.
