About Ergoweb®, Inc.

Ergoweb, Inc. was established January 1, 1995 to commercialize industrial job assessment software then under development at the University of Utah. The privately held company has since grown to become a leading one-stop source for the ergonomics market, focusing primarily on physical ergonomics issues such as workplace and human centered equipment assessment and design.

As a pioneering web site in the ergonomics category, ergoweb.com quickly grew to be a focal point for the ergonomics industry. Responding to market demand, Ergoweb began publishing a variety of news and information resources to the ergonomics market stakeholders, including case studies, a buyer’s guide, general topic web news, and detailed professional subscription based news. A discussion forum we began in 1994 continues to be the most popular and respected information sharing forum in the ergonomics industry. Many of these "Ergoweb Community" resources are free, and others have evolved into products and services offered directly through ErgoWeb® or through one of our closely linked partner companies.
