Meet the team
Our Ergonomicsdirect team is made up of a diverse group of individuals, each with a very specific skillset.
Seeing that Ergonomicsdirect “evolved” out of the medical industry, it is understandable that the majority of the team members come from a medical background.
We all have one thing in common – our goal to make a difference in the lives of our customers by improving their health, comfort and productivity.
