Leggett & Platt manufactures thousands of different items. These products are organized into four segments and further divided into 11 groups and 18 business units. Here we share more information about our four segments.
Residential Furnishings Segment
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001193125-15-132860/g909927ex99_1pg001.jpg)
Our Residential Furnishings segment began in 1883 with the manufacture of steel coil bedsprings. Today, we supply a variety of components used by bedding and upholstered furniture manufacturers in the assembly of their finished products. Our range of products offers our customers a single source for many of their component needs.
Efficient manufacturing methods, internal production of key raw materials, and numerous manufacturing and assembly locations allow us to supply many customers with components at a lower cost than they can produce themselves. In addition to cost savings, sourcing components from us allows our customers to focus on designing, merchandising and marketing their products.

The quality of our products and service, together with low cost, have made Leggett & Platt the leading U.S. supplier of drawn steel wire. Our Wire group operates a steel rod mill with an annual output of approximately 500,000 tons, of which a substantial majority is used by our own wire mills. We have three wire mills that supply virtually all the wire consumed by our other domestic businesses. Our Steel Tubing business unit also supplies a portion of our internal needs for welded steel tubing. In addition to supporting our internal requirements, we supply many external customers with wire and steel tubing products.
