History
In 1987, MityLite founder Greg Wilson owned Church Furnishings, Inc, a company that made pews and other church furniture. He secured a US$1 million contract order with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for a banquet table he had developed. However, Wilson lacked the financing to manufacture the table. After a deal with Samsonite failed, Wilson incorporated as MITY Enterprises, Inc., with US$500,000 from angel investors.
In March 1994, MITY Enterprises went public, selling 900,000 shares of common stock at US$5.25 per share. The company was listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol MITY.
In July 2007 Mity Enterprises merged with Sorenson Capital and Peterson Partners, both Salt Lake City-based private equity firms.

In November 2009, Mity-Lite was awarded Manufacturer of the Year by Utah's Manufacturing Extension Partnership.
