Giving Back Through Community Blood Drives

At Leggett & Platt, we believe in supporting the communities where our employees live and work. Recently, our employee resource group, W:ISE, demonstrated that commitment by leading a company-wide blood drive to support local communities through lifesaving blood donations.

W:ISE’s mission is to elevate diverse perspectives, celebrate individual contributions, foster personal and professional growth, strengthen support networks, build allyship, and drive positive organizational change throughout the company. In support of that mission, W:ISE organized blood drives in Carthage, Missouri, and at Davidson Plyforms in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Thanks to the generosity of employees at both locations, 64 units of blood were collected, surpassing the established donation goals. Building on the success of the recent event, Davidson Plyforms has already scheduled another blood drive for December.

These efforts reflect the culture we strive to foster across Leggett & Platt. Giving back is an important part of who we are, and we remain committed to making a meaningful difference in the communities our employees call home.

Giving Back with L&P Kintec-Reitberg

At Leggett & Platt, we believe in the power of community and the impact of giving back.

Our Kintec-Reitberg team in Germany recently took part in the “Gütersloh Läuft” charity run in support of the Deutsche Schlaganfall-Hilfe (German Stroke Foundation).

With a portion of participants’ registration fees donated to the cause, the event was a great opportunity for the team to come together, stay active, and support the local community.

We are proud to support meaningful initiatives like this that strengthen the communities where we live and work. Every step taken during the event helped contribute to a cause that makes a real difference, and we look forward to continuing to create positive impact together.

Thanks to our Kintec-Reitberg team for doing great work together!

Strengthening Communities Through United Way

At Leggett & Platt, our mission is twofold: to make life more comfortable and bring about a better future. One way we live that mission is through our long-standing partnership with United Way.

For decades, Leggett & Platt employees have helped create stronger, healthier communities through their support of United Way organizations. These partnerships provide essential resources and services, from emergency assistance and healthcare support to literacy, education, and family-focused programs that improve the lives of those in need.

In 2025, Leggett & Platt contributed more than $1.7 million in cash and in-kind donations to charitable organizations. Through local United Way agencies, employees raised more than $94,000, and Leggett & Platt amplified those efforts with an additional $57,500 corporate donation to United Way agencies across the United States.

At Leggett & Platt, giving back is rooted in our People First value. Through our partnership with United Way, we’re making a positive impact on individuals, families, and communities – close to home and worldwide.

Giving Back with Make-A-Wish® America

Supporting the communities where we live and work is an important part of who we are. In 2024, Leggett & Platt Flooring Products, the largest manufacturer of carpet cushion and hard surface underlayment in the United States, partnered with Make-A-Wish® to help make children’s wishes come true.

L&P pledged to donate $0.01 to Make-A-Wish® America for every square foot ($0.09/sq. yd.) of Make‑A‑Wish® branded carpet cushion and underlayment sold from January 1 through December 31, 2026, with a minimum donation of $100,000. By the end of 2026, L&P will have donated $200K to Make-A-Wish®.

Leggett & Platt Flooring Products partnership includes four Make‑A‑Wish® branded carpet pads:

  • Passion™
  • Inspire™
  • Desire™
  • Strength™

However, our partnership with Make‑A‑Wish® goes far beyond the national agreement and company-managed donations. Various L&P Flooring Territory Managers and retail customers have partnered with their local Make‑A‑Wish® chapters and attended Make‑A‑Wish® events.

Through these efforts, Leggett & Platt has helped Make-A-Wish® grant life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. We are proud of the collective impact our employees have made and look forward to continuing our support of this important mission.

Apprentice Spotlight: Lysander Szepcsik

While the 13th summer of our DOORS Internship Program is underway, internship and apprenticeship opportunities take place across Leggett & Platt year-round. These programs provide valuable hands-on experience and professional development while helping participants build skills for their future careers.

Meet Lysander Szepcsik from St. Gallen, Switzerland! Lysander is in his third year of a polymechanic apprenticeship at Spühl GmbH while also pursuing the Berufsmaturität, a technical academic qualification in Switzerland.

What does your internship with Spühl entail?

We learn to operate mills, lathes, drill presses, and many other machines, including both computer numerical control (CNC) and conventional equipment. We also gain experience working in assembly.

What is the most valuable thing you’ve learned, so far, during your time with Spühl?

I think the most valuable thing I’ve learned so far is to work with different people on technical projects.

What are your goals through your apprenticeship?

My goal is to complete my apprenticeship on our five-axis milling machine and successfully finish my studies so I can pursue a career in engineering or a similar field.

What has been your favorite part of your apprenticeship at Spühl?

I really like it here. I will definitely miss the coworkers and fellow apprentices I’ve worked with. I also enjoy working on different machines and challenging myself to achieve high levels of precision and tight tolerances.

How will you apply your experience to your future career?

I will most likely continue my studies in mechanical engineering or pursue additional training in a technical field.

Please join us in wishing Lysander well!

Strengthening Safety Through Education

In late June, our Davidson Plyforms branch opened its doors to host an OSHA 30-hour certification course led by Kenny Gay, EHS Manager, and Bobby Haddix, Senior EHS Specialist.

Employees from various roles in our Work Furniture, Home Furniture, and Flooring Products businesses came together to complete the training and earn their OSHA 30-hour accreditation. Their participation reflects our commitment to putting people first and building a strong safety culture.

“Putting people first means investing in their safety and knowledge,” says Bobby. “By ensuring our team is OSHA 30-hour trained, we provide them with the ability to create a safer work environment for everyone. This commitment reflects our belief that every employee deserves to go home safe at the end of each day.”

Thank you to our employees for their dedication to professional development, and thank you to Mark Walkington, Kenny Gay, and Bobby Haddix for making this training opportunity possible!
