About ERGOdynamics

ERGOdynamics is a Eugene, Oregon based manufacturer of sophisticated ergonomic furniture and material handling equipment. We have a continuing commitment to product quality and quick turn around times. Our company was started in 1986.  In 1995 we evolved from a reseller to manufacturer.  That move was brought about because many ergonomic products available at the time were adequate but fell short in one way or another.  A strong desire to bring the best available technology to our customers was the catalyst that launched a new direction for this company. 

We began making simple improvements to existing products that solved specific challenges for our customers.  Soon it was obvious that designing and building the products we sold would insure the best possible results and customer satisfaction.  Every product we build today is the result finding solutions that made sense for real world challenges.  As time passed and more and more people began to look to us for ergonomic solutions the need for more and different products grew.  Some might say we build an eclectic mix of products that range from ergonomic seating and adjustable desks to material handling machines and production tables.  We are the first to agree!

Our first product released in 1995 was an ergonomic chair.  That first chair called Pro/Act was the result of 18 different prototypes.  Each one tested with real people in real world work environments.  After each test we asked for evaluations.  A part of the evaluation was a question as simple as “would you buy this chair”.   The first trials resulted in nearly 80% of the respondents saying yes to that question.  In fact it was difficult to get any negative feed back.  We built and tested 17 more prototypes before we were satisfied that we had one of the best ergonomic chairs available.  Today that same model is made and is still one of our most successful products.

As time passed our clients began to ask if we offered more and different products that would help resolve ergonomic issues.  It’s hard to say no to customers who trust you and are looking for answers that you can provide.  So we began answering yes.  Eventually we were invited beyond the office and onto production floors, warehouses and shipping areas.  That brought about the need for more industrial ergonomic solutions.  Material handling was now a big part of our focus.  Each new material handling solution had a focus on ergonomics.  That made them unique.  Each design is not a result of form following function or function creating form but rather ergonomic solution engineering.

Customers are not buildings or account numbers, they’re people, human beings.  The human body is the most perfect machine ever designed.  But it has its limits and that is where human based engineering becomes important.  Ergonomic products designed to take over where the human body is stressed too far is the basis for every product we build.  Weather it is repetitive stress, extended reaching, bending, twisting, stooping or carrying excessive weight the human body has its limits.  Those limits extend beyond work stations in the office; they go all the way to the loading dock.  For well over 20 years the pursuit of this company has been to find solutions that are ergonomically correct and worker task orientated.  Eclectic product mix, yes but that’s because we humans find all sorts of ways to challenge our bodies and that doesn’t stop at the office door.   

From the most ergonomically advanced office chairs and desks in the world, to creative ideas for unusual and unique work site modifications, we've got you covered.
