Reducing Our Footprint While Growing

Ergotron has always made product durability and adaptabilty a priority. This translates to long-term use (not disposal) of our products. Today, the same dedication to quality allows our company to reduce its environmental footprint, even while we grow, by using our characteristic innovation and state of the art management practices to find efficiencies wherever possible.

Let Us Help With Your Green Initiatives

Reduce Future Purchases

Our mounts are built to last so you won’t need to replace them anytime soon. Extremely durable, they undergo performance tests unmatched in the industry—unlike competitive offerings, you can expect a product like the LX Arm to perform with the same ease and dependability in its 10,000th motion adjustment as in its first. Further, our products’ open-architecture design and adjustability mean that they will continue to be useful when new personnel use a workstation, or your computer hardware is upgraded, or you reconfigure a work space.

Build Sustainably

The key to creating efficient work areas is maximized space utilization while improving user interaction with equipment. In terms of Sustainable Building, our products are compliant with certification criteria. Our highly adaptable and space-saving products can help gain LEED-CI, -NC and -EB credits as defined by the U.S. Green Building Council, or earn Green Star points as defined by the Green Building Council Australia through the implementation of a comprehensive ergonomics program.
