Becomes Sole MillerKnoll Dealer in Northeast Ohio
American Interiors, a prominent player in the commercial furniture and digital construction industry since 1993, is thrilled to announce the acquisition of APG Office Furnishings, Northeast Ohio’s MillerKnoll dealer based in Cleveland and Akron. This acquisition, effective March 9, 2026, marks a significant milestone, defining American Interiors as the region’s exclusive MillerKnoll dealer.
“On behalf of American Interiors, I am proud to reaffirm our deep commitment to the Northeast Ohio market as we become the single distribution partner for MillerKnoll, representing some of the most iconic brands in our industry. We extend our sincere gratitude to Connie and Terry Goins, as well as the dedicated employees of APG, for the strong foundation they’ve built over the years. The synergistic values shared by both companies will promote sustained, committed momentum among the greater Cleveland market,” said Steve Essig, American Interiors President / CEO.
Essig foresees continued growth with MillerKnoll. For the past 30+ years, American Interiors and MillerKnoll (formerly Knoll) have been partners by choice, shaping the future of work through problem-solving design.
“American Interiors and APG have a strong, well-established relationship with MillerKnoll built around a shared dedication to purposeful, people-centered design,” said John Michael, MillerKnoll President of North America Contract. “American Interiors’ acquisition of APG in Northeast Ohio strengthens their footprint in the region and expands the capabilities they can bring to clients. Together, they are even better positioned to help organizations create workspaces that adapt to today’s changing needs. I’d also like to thank APG for their continued partnership in other markets.”
Since its founding in 1969, APG Office Furnishings has been a MillerKnoll (formerly Herman Miller) dealer, making them one of the longest-standing in the industry.
“It has been a privilege for APG Office Furnishings to represent Herman Miller and MillerKnoll in Northeast Ohio for the past 21 years. Our team has built lasting partnerships across Northeast Ohio by doing what we’ve always believed in—showing up for our clients, delivering exceptional service, and treating every project as an opportunity to create spaces that truly support the people who use them. I regard American Interiors’ acquisition of APG’s Cleveland and Akron operations with complete confidence and optimism. Their reputation as a trusted MillerKnoll partner makes them the right stewards to continue our legacy. I trust their team to carry forward the standards our clients expect and to elevate what’s possible as they become the sole MillerKnoll dealer in the Cleveland market. APG’s story of dedication, integrity, and community will continue in our Cincinnati, Dayton, and Memphis operations, and I’m proud to see that spirit continue forward in Northeast Ohio with American Interiors,” said Connie Goins, APG Office Furnishings CEO.
American Interiors is committed to a smooth transition for APG’s existing customers. Anticipating further growth, Melissa Caples, American Interiors Chief Strategy Officer, is committed to leading Northeast Ohio toward success.
“Acquiring APG unites two highly respected organizations with complementary strengths, shared values, and a deep commitment to our clients. This acquisition expands our capabilities, strengthens our talent base, and creates meaningful new opportunities to serve the Northeast Ohio market with even greater intention and impact. We are not just growing—we are elevating what’s possible for our clients, our partners, and our community,” said Caples.
