Lebanon, Ohio — January 2026 — Ghent, a leading innovator in visual communication solutions, is now represented by Chicago-based JSA Design Resource Group in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. This development builds upon the two organizations’ existing partnership in a smaller geographic territory.

The expanded representation strengthens Ghent’s presence throughout the Upper Midwest, connecting architects, designers, and end users with domestically manufactured products known for quality, durability, and thoughtful design. With deep regional expertise and a relationship-driven approach, JSA Design Resource Group brings a shared commitment to American manufacturing, innovation, and the people behind the products.

“We’ve always had a strong relationship with JSA,” said Susan Claus, Marketing Director at Ghent. “They represent a natural extension of Ghent’s values. JSA understands that great design is rooted in people, those who design, manufacture, specify, and use our products every day. Their passion for small business, handmade quality, and domestic manufacturing aligns perfectly with who we are and how we work.”

JSA Design Resource Group’s philosophy centers on more than product representation—it is a commitment to supporting small businesses, affordable and approachable design, and innovation across the commercial interiors industry. As a small business itself, JSA champions its manufacturing partners, recognizing the critical role domestic production plays in strengthening the American economy.

JSA’s Principal, Michael Isaac, has supported Ghent in the Chicagoland market for years, serving as the main point of contact in the Ghent showroom in the Merchandise Mart. “Having such strong representation in that area has been especially helpful in our growth and expansion in recent years,” Claus noted.

With Ghent’s broad portfolio of solutions for the modern workplace, classroom, healthcare facilities, hotels, and beyond, the partnership reinforces a shared belief in resilient supply chains, responsible production, and long-term industry investment.
