Founded in 1982, Humanscale is generally recognized as the leading manufacturer of ergonomic products for the office. Our many offerings help ensure that individuals who spend hours each day in front of a computer, do so in maximum comfort and with minimal long-term health risks. To achieve this result, our philosophy regarding product design is this: Technology can make simple things complicated or complicated things simple. We believe in the latter approach and strive to design products that combine uncompromising function and honest aesthetics with ultimate ease-of-use. Next to the chair, an articulating keyboard support is the most important component of an ergonomic workstation. Humanscale entered the articulating keyboard support market in 1997 with the Freedom Arm, which won a Best of NeoCon Award that year for its revolutionary functionality. By 1998, it had become the worldwide leader in keyboard support sales. Our next keyboard support, the 2G, won Gold in 1999 at both NeoCon and IIDEX and picked up where the Freedom Arm left off - by quickly becoming the market leader. Today, with our fourth-generation mechanism, the 4G, added to our stable of keyboard mechanisms, Humanscale remains the worldwide market leader in articulating keyboard supports. Knowing that a truly ergonomic chair could make more of a difference to user health than most any other product, Humanscale entered the task seating market in 1999 with the Freedom chair, which has won 8 design awards to-date - including the Design Distinction Award in the prestigious ID Design Review 2000 competition. In a relatively short amount of time, the Freedom chair has revolutionized the task chair industry and has set new standards for task chair performance and functionality. And our new product introductions, such as the M7 line of monitor arms and the Personal SafetyKits, continue to push the boundaries of innovation and technology to create a safer and more comfortable work environment. In 2003 the M7 won Gold in the Best of Neocon contest, confirming Humanscale's position as a leader in ergonomic product design. The quality of our products is directly related to the ingenuity of the designers who create them. We are extremely fortunate to work with distinguished industrial designers, such as Niels Diffrient, who have literally revolutionized a number of ergonomic product categories. Niels' contributions to ergonomic seating, such as the pneumatic cylinder and knee-tilt mechanism, have been standards on task chairs for the past twenty years and, together with his Freedom chair, are among the reasons he won the 2002 National Design Award, handed out by the Smithsonian Institution's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. We expect the same for the many innovations found on the Freedom chair. Likewise, George Mileos' Freedom Arm, which was the first to offer knob-free adjustability and total knee clearance, completely changed the way articulating keyboard support mechanisms were designed. Humanscale serves, among others, the majority of Fortune 1000 companies. Our products are available through retailers, contract furniture dealers and direct via our 14 sales offices in the United States. We also maintain offices in London, Prague and China, which oversee our worldwide distribution network. Manufacturing facilities are located in New Jersey, California and Dublin, Ireland.Humanscale Corporation Address
