Good design is a perpetual motion machine

Here at Ergotron, since unveiling our new brand identity in January, we’ve taken steps to modernize and align the look and tone of all our internal and external assets globally. This includes our website, catalogs, business cards, trade show presence and more.

In addition, we’ve made a commitment to our visibility here in the Twin Cities, through making our company headquarters building a true representation of our refreshed brand.
