Mity buys Florida company

Orem-based furniture manufacturer Mity Inc. has acquired Orlando, Florida-based ChairPort Products LLC, which operates under the trade name XpressPort. Mity produces highly durable products with brand names like MityLite and Holsag, which Mity acquired in January.

The XpressPort brand is widely known in the lodging, public assembly and educational sectors as a manufacturer of high-capacity storage and transport equipment for tables, chairs, stanchions and other equipment used in demanding public settings.

According to Mity CEO and president John Dudash, “This acquisition is a great addition to our growing portfolio of product collections. XpressPort complements our existing chair and table cart lines and will enhance offerings to customers, providing more options for ease of use, maneuverability and protection of their investment.”

“XpressPort is the ‘gold standard’ of table and chair portability for a variety of commercial applications,” said Ken Hufstater, XpressPort owner and president. “We are excited about the national and global growth potential that the Mity acquisition offers and see a very bright future ahead of us.”

Dudash added, “As we continue to grow, we further solidify Mity Inc. as a furniture leader in multiple vertical markets. The addition of XpressPort is another strategic step in the right direction.”
