Ergotron: We Make Work Better
Curious how a basement idea in 1982 grew into a global ergonomics leader? This short video introduces Ergotron, its mission, and four decades of human-centered innovation across education, healthcare, and beyond. Watch the video to get to know Ergotron.
What does Ergotron mean by “We Make Work Better”?
Ergotron uses ergonomic design and motion technology to
reimagine how people interact with their workspaces. Instead of treating desks, monitors, and carts as static furniture, Ergotron focuses on products that move with people throughout the day.
In practice, this means:
- Sit-stand workstations that let employees easily shift between sitting and standing.
- Adjustable monitor arms that position screens at the right height and distance to reduce strain.
- Mobile carts and workstations that bring technology directly to where work happens, especially in fast-paced environments like healthcare and education.
By supporting healthier posture, more movement, and better access to technology, Ergotron aims to help organizations improve comfort, focus, and productivity across their teams.
Which industries does Ergotron focus on?
Ergotron designs its solutions for a range of professional environments where people and technology need to work together smoothly. Key areas include:
- Corporate offices – Sit-stand desks, monitor arms, and collaboration setups that help teams stay comfortable and engaged throughout the workday.
- Healthcare – Mobile carts, wall-mounted workstations, and point-of-care solutions that support clinicians as they move between patients and departments.
- Education – Flexible, mobile workstations that help schools and universities adapt classrooms and labs for different teaching styles and technologies.
Across these industries, the goal is consistent:
reshape how people work with technology so that spaces are more adaptable, ergonomic, and efficient.
How do Ergotron solutions impact employee well-being and productivity?
Ergotron’s approach is to
rethink the traditional, static workstation and replace it with flexible setups that encourage movement and better posture. This can have several practical impacts on well-being and performance:
- More movement during the day – Sit-stand options and mobile workstations make it easier for people to change positions, which can help reduce discomfort from prolonged sitting.
- Improved ergonomics – Adjustable monitor arms and work surfaces help align screens, keyboards, and input devices to the user, which can reduce neck, back, and eye strain.
- Better access to technology – In environments like healthcare and education, mobile and wall-mounted solutions bring technology closer to the point of need, helping staff work more efficiently.
By combining ergonomics with mobility, Ergotron aims to support healthier work habits and help organizations create spaces where people can stay focused and productive throughout the day.
