Build for Those Who Build India.\" The company announced the showcase in a press release carried by [ANI News](https://www.aninews.in/news/business/haworth-unveils-the-future-of-workspaces-build-for-those-who-build-india-at-orgatec-india-202620261114101251/).\n\n## Haworth's Sensory Booth at ORGATEC India\n\nThe centrepiece of [Haworth](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00079ww/haworth-inc)'s presence is \"Workplace Through the Senses,\" an experiential booth at Booth D02 designed to show how sight, sound, touch, taste and smell shape comfort, focus, collaboration and wellbeing. Visitors can explore how colour, lighting, acoustics and material affect how people experience a space and, in turn, how they work.\n\nThe booth brings together Haworth with [BuzziSpace](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000df63/buzzispace), Hushoffice and [Cappellini](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/02mdapf/cappellini-s-r-l), with BuzziSpace and Hushoffice solutions demonstrating how acoustics support focus and wellbeing. Haworth said the showcase will also highlight research-led design for inclusive workplaces that accommodate different sensory needs.\n\nHenning Figge, President of Haworth International, said, \"Workplace design is about understanding people and how they do their best work.\" He added that ORGATEC India offers an opportunity to show how design informed by research and global experience can help organisations create environments that work better for their people.\n\nHaworth is co-creating two panel discussions in the official Workspace Dialogues track. On November 19, \"Future of Workspaces: Designing for the Senses\" will cover neurodiversity, acoustics and sensory-inclusive design. On November 20, \"Designing the Next Generation of Indian Workplaces\" will examine workforce expectations, organisational culture and the requirements of Indian businesses.\n\nPraveen Rawal, Vice President of Sales for Asia Pacific at Haworth, said, \"India's workplace landscape is evolving alongside its economic ambitions and changing workforce expectations.\" He said acoustics play a growing role in how well people focus and collaborate.\n\n## Haworth's Chennai Manufacturing and Second Life Demo\n\nHaworth has been present in India since 1997 and opened its Chennai manufacturing facility in 2014. Its India-made products are BIS-certified, and a second factory under construction in Chennai will double its plant space. Visitors will also see a live demonstration of Haworth's Second Life programme, which focuses on durability, repairability and extending product life.\n\nManish Khandelwal, Managing Director of Haworth India, said, \"The future of Indian workplaces must be built around the people and businesses that will drive the country forward.\" He said the company wants to show how India-made products and a more considered approach to product life cycles come together.\n\n## Haworth's Recent Expansion Moves\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Haworth reported $2.57 billion in annual sales in its Heller Furniture acquisition announcement in February 2026. The same records show the company reaches 150+ countries through 400 dealers.\n\n## Haworth's Earlier India and Design Steps\n\nIn August 2026, Construction World reported that Haworth is expanding its India manufacturing with a second facility at Sriperumbudur near Chennai, which will double its manufacturing space in the country. In July 2026, ANI News reported that Haworth entered India in 1997 as the first major international office furniture brand to establish a presence there.\n\nVisitors can register for a guided walkthrough of the booth through Haworth's event page.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
