Arden, to me, is not a just a manufacturer that produces cushions. This is a company that takes great people and turns them into world-class professionals and experts in every field of business. We may be a mid-size company, but we are as efficient and have as much fun as small business while we make decisions and implement solutions that rival the world’s largest conglomerates. Arden outshines its competitors by always sticking to our “On-time, Complete, and Correct” mantra. There is nothing that we won’t do to make sure that every customer is satisfied and every shipment is fulfilled. I come to work every day looking forward to the challenges put in front of me. And I do so knowing that I’ll be working side by side with some of the best minds in the world.

Mariel B. Product Innovation Manager

Arden is a 21st century manufacturer that continues to breathe new life into a legacy of 45+ years of manufacturing excellence and quality with a world-class global team of designers, engineers, fabric and fiber experts, consumer researchers, forecasters, supply chain professionals, and operations specialists. I began my career at Arden fresh-out-of-college with a handful of part-time and summer jobs and a Sustainable Business degree on my resume. Arden found a place for me in the Logistics department, where I quickly learned the ins and outs of our supply chain. After gaining some experience with the company, I joined the Marketing team where I have experienced the beginning stages of bringing a product to life in my role on the consumer research team and my current position as Product Innovation Manager. Everyone has the opportunity to shine and directly impact the success of the organization.
