Philip Boulton and his friend, Luis Blasini, founded Kannoa, a Miami-based outdoor furniture manufacturer, in 2006. Philip emails, “Kannoa operates under four principles: design, functionality, durability, and harmony. We have experienced a compounded 35 percent annual revenue growth rate. The company has more than 30 sales, finance, logistics, and manufacturing employees in the U.S. (yes, in the U.S.!), and in 2014 we opened a factory in China, where we employ close to 50 people in production, finance, and logistics.”
