SAVOY FURNITURE - Key Persons
John David and John Adam Savoy.
Founded in 1946 by John D. Savoy and son, John A. Savoy, as Savoy's Machine Woodcarving Shop, they machined and hand-carved highly ornate parts of living room, bedroom, and family room furniture. For three years they built the operation while working at other full-time employment. Over the next several years, the business moved into larger locations as they expanded the line to include furniture frames. In 1954, the business name was officially changed to John Savoy and Son, Inc and shortly after added upholstered furniture to the product line.
The business continued to grow and in 1963, John Savoy and Son, Inc. ceased manufacturing home furniture and entered the commercial market. Additional floor space was added and in 1978 Savoy began selling to the military, obtaining contracts for all product lines.
