We manufacturers would love it if we could design your component first and have you build your product around it. Of course, that’s usually not possible -- you have certain specs you want to meet, and we understand our design has to fit those parameters.

Having the[best ergonomic products](https://blog.weberknapp.com/gsa-approved-office-furniture-is-the-best-of-the-best) in your office is important for employee health, safety, and comfort. However, poor indoor air quality can offset the benefits of those products by **exposing your employees to toxic fumes** from that same furniture and equipment. Those toxic fumes are VOCs (volatile organic compounds) introduced during the manufacturing process.
