    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    Pineapple Contracts opened their doors for the first time in 1975. A family run company, started by William Hathorn, Pineapple began making pine furniture for the retail market and traded as, 'Pine Productions'.

    In 1987, Pine Productions moved their focus to the healthcare furniture market, having identified a demand for strong, safe, and durable healthcare furniture which avoided the 'institutional' appearance, common at that time. With a new direction, a new name was required and we became simply 'Pineapple'.

    Pineapple, now a global company with headquarters in Kent (UK), has offices in France, Germany and the USA, still runs by its original ethos.
