MELBOURNE, Fla. — Perdue, a commercial interiors firm and premier Steelcase dealer, and part of The Suddath Companies operating in North Florida, has acquired American Business Interiors (ABI), a Florida-based commercial interiors firm founded in 1969.

The acquisition advances Perdue’s mission to deliver fully integrated workplace, healthcare and education environments—from strategy and design to furnishings, architectural solutions, project delivery and ongoing support—all through a single partner.

As organizations continue investing in spaces that support evolving workforce and operational needs, this move expands Perdue’s capacity to meet growing demand across sectors.

“As organizations rethink workplace, education and healthcare environments, the physical environment has never been more important,” said Rob Lau, President of Perdue, Inc.^®. Our goal is to create spaces that are not just functional, but genuinely inspiring places where people want to work, learn, heal and connect. With ABI, we’re enhancing our ability to deliver seamless, start-to-finish solutions for our clients.”

The combined organization brings together two experienced teams with a shared commitment to excellence and long-standing client relationships. ABI’s deep expertise in commercial interiors and trusted manufacturer partnerships complement Perdue’s integrated approach, creating a more comprehensive offering for clients.

ABI’s presence on Florida’s Space Coast expands Perdue’s geographic reach into one of the state’s fastest-growing markets, supporting industries such as aerospace, defense and healthcare that demand complex, high-performance environments.

Leadership Perspectives:

Rich Greco, President of Suddath Workplace Solutions: 

“This acquisition strengthens Perdue’s position as a workplace partner and allows us to grow more intentionally with Steelcase, while expanding our footprint in Florida and supporting clients on a broader scale. ABI’s market presence and cultural alignment make this a natural fit.”

Rob Perers, President and CEO of American Business Interiors: 

“Joining Perdue allows us to build on what we’ve created over the past several decades. Our clients will continue working with the same team they trust, while gaining access to expanded resources and capabilities that support their long-term workplace needs. 

These Florida-based organizations are family-owned and relationship-driven, with leadership and employee tenures spanning decades, and share a culture that will remain central to this partnership. Clients of both organizations will continue to work with their existing contacts, with enhanced access to workplace expertise and furniture solutions on the Space Coast, and now Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida.”
