Innovation At Work
After seeing a 40 percent year-over-year reduction in sales during the 2008 recession, Mity-Lite streamlined operations to successfully deliver new products while its industry shrank. Led by chief operations officer Brian Bowers, this Orem, UT-based lightweight table and chair manufacturer released five innovative products within a year to rejuvenate its product lines. Since 2008, Mity-Lite has introduced aluminum and plywood tables, pioneered an office-grade mesh folding chair, and expanded several product lines — all while working to bring manufacturing back from Asia.
Besides the success attained through internal opportunities, the forward-thinking strategies of this progressive company also caught the eye of the Utah Manufacturer's Association, who honored Mity-Lite with the Utah Manufacturer of the Year award in 2011.

Orem manufacturer proves staying local can turn a profit
Mity Lite founder Greg Wilson was asked to set up tables for a church function one too many times. As he lugged the long banquet tables through the church he thought, "There's got to be a way to make something lighter than this."
That's how the story is told at the Utah Manufacturing Association's 2011 Manufacturer of the Year. The Orem company known for its lightweight folding tables and chairs recently did what many say is impossible -- becoming most cost effective while moving manufacturing of some parts back from overseas.
