Company Description

Ergotron puts ergonomic mounts on display -- or maybe it's the other way around. The company makes mounting hardware that enables computer displays, laptop PCs, and TV's to be affixed to desks and walls. It also offers computer carts and ergonomic computing accessories such as wrist rests, extension arms, and mouse holders. In addition to the home office and entertainment markets, Ergotron serves the aerospace, broadcasting, finance, and health care industries. The company has a presence more than 60 countries, including a manufacturing facility in China. Established in 1982, Ergotron was acquired by Nortek for $280 million in late 2010 as part of that company's expansion of its home technology product line.
