We study trends from across the globe and collaborate with America’s largest retailers to give you the latest in inspired fabric and innovative designs both in aesthetic and in function.
Analytics
Arden has a long history as a market leader in our business, which means we have a depth of data unparalleled in the industry. Our analytics teams utilize this data to provide industry benchmarks, demographics, regional indicators, and other relevant variables to our retailers. Color, pattern, design, cost, and key product characteristics are monitored to ensure a quality product.
Design
Our design teams deliver a specialized focus for retailers that touches the full range of a product’s life cycle. These teams anticipate consumer needs as we develop new products and decorative techniques that keep us at the forefront of innovation. They also focus on creating beautiful, strategic and trend forward assortments that the customer can’t wait to take home.
Manufacturing
Together with our engineering teams, our manufacturing facilities provide efficient production and product that meets the highest standards. We have three plants strategically located across the United States near the main distribution hubs for America’s largest retailers.

WHAT SETS ARDEN APART?
Aside from our terrific smiles…
People
We work in a progressive environment that challenges you to be your best. At Arden there is no lack of enthusiasm, passion or energy among our talented and friendly team members. Our culture is welcoming as well as supportive and our diversity makes Arden a dynamic workplace with various backgrounds and experiences shared among our teammates.
Safety
We believe that providing a safe work environment for all of our employees at all company locations is critical. We have extensive safety training and disciplines throughout all of our network facilities that address operational safety and natural disaster concerns. The attention to detail we have provided in these programs allows all of our locations to proudly boast stellar safety records and over 30 years without a lost time accident.
Community
Being involved in the community means building strong supportive relationships that bridge the gaps between business and people. To do this, we provide opportunities through our Arden Gives Back Program for teammates to provide volunteer work and donate to charitable causes. Whether we’re helping out at local food banks or giving back to those in need through school and clothing drives, we encourage everyone to participate in a program that matches their interest.
Wellness
The health and happiness of our teammates is a priority for us. That’s why we offer a variety of benefits from personal and family health to work/life balance and financial security that help teammates in a meaningful way. We are also proud to provide long standing support of education through academic scholarships for our employees and their families.
Recognition
We celebrate and recognize the hard work, dedication, and accomplishments of our talented teammates. Our High-Five Awards are one way which we immediately recognize teammate accomplishments and successes. Also, our Annual President’s Award allow us the opportunity to recognize, as a company, those teammates that have been valued as high performers, innovators, and safety conscientious employees each year at our corporate headquarters. These are just a few of the programs we’ve established to honor our teammates who truly excel in their performance.

WHO ARE WE?
Let us show you.
Our History
Every company has a story, and this is ours. In 1964, at just 23 and 22 years old, Bob and Martie Sachs founded Arden as a brokerage and distributor of household cleaning products. From the beginning, their goal was simple yet profound: to make Arden “a source of pride for its people.” Over the years, that commitment remains unchanged, just like the corporate motto, “On time, Complete, and Correct,” which continues to be a guiding principle for everything we do.
A company’s culture is its driving force, shaping both its success and its future. At Arden, our culture centers around a strong sense of community. We believe that by fostering connections with those around us, we uncover new opportunities for shared growth and success. This sense of togetherness allows us to create not only beautiful products but also a workplace we are proud to call our own.
A company’s success is built by its people, and at Arden Companies we deeply value our employees. We are proud of our unmatched safety record, diverse workforce, and team-oriented approach. Our exceptionally clean facilities reflect our commitment to providing a safe and efficient work environment. Constantly innovating, we provide the best tools and processes in the industry. Join us and be part of a team that values safety, diversity, and continuous improvement.
