Leggett & Platt has partnered with United Way for several years — but we don’t just raise funds for a good cause, we have fun while we do it! In 2014 we hosted a community-wide fall festival, held bake sales and raffles, even a dodgeball tournament. However, the highlight this year was when our leadership decided to get in on it; employees participated in an auction for the chance to throw a pie in the face of their favorite executive.
Our team in Creative Services just came across some VHS tapes and found this business-to-business marketing video from the 80’s. We’re proud to say the Mira-Coil is still in production after all these years!
Leggett & Platt employees are committed to protecting and preserving the environment. We’re quite proud of the effort these teams have made through their commitment to the Eco Initiative, a program that provides guidelines for a proactive environmental management system.
We’ve highlighted five stories from the fall edition of “Eco News,” our quarterly internal newsletter, to share with you:

The last Friday of the month could not have come at a better time! Although it does usually come at the same time, at least monthly — or so we’ve been led to believe. Regardless, it’s time for the second installment of our tongue-planted-firmly-in-cheek instructional series.
In 2002, Leggett & Platt purchased a portion of the former Northwestern Steel & Wire facility. Following major renovations in the melt shop and rod mill, the plant began operating in early 2003. Sterling produces more than 500,000 tons of wire rod annually.
