The Ghent contract provides white boards, glass boards, display cases, space division furniture, and partitions that enhance educational spaces for communication, collaboration, and learning.

Ghent's sustainability initiative encompasses everything from the water-based paints and stains they select, to the lamination components and fabric selection for their tackable surfaces. Ghent works hard to minimize their impact on the planet through sustainable manufacturing processes. Ghent's designs take this into account by ensuring their products exceed the user's functionality requirements for durability and extended life.
As a result of their strong stance on sustainability, Ghent has earned BIFMA Level® 2 Certification. By considering functionality, aesthetics, and environmental performance in each product design, Ghent is able to satisfy customer demand while offering products that meet strict third party environmental certifications.
