Laboratory market as sales driver

What dealers should really know about laboratory chairs

Modern, international and highly dynamic - the laboratory market is probably what we nowadays would describe as "cutting-edge". There is hardly any other work area that is growing faster. Many companies and public institutions have long since seen the way the wind is blowing and have invested in future structures. They are looking to position themselves on a broad and sustained basis in the areas of research, development and education. This trend also opens up prospects of new markets for the chair trade.

Harnessing synergies - with laboratory chairs

With the growth of the laboratory market, the demand for special laboratory chairs is growing, too. It is even more important for the dealers, who up to now have not stocked products made specifically for laboratories, to adapt quickly to the special requirements of the laboratory industry. This is because even with existing customers or projects, where so far only other types of workplace chair and office chair have been required, there is often the need for solutions meeting laboratory standards. In order to be able to offer these companies and organisations complete solutions from just one dealership, it is going to be worthwhile for many dealers to gain expertise with regard to laboratory chairs.

The special requirements for a laboratory chair

Laboratory chairs must have certain characteristics. As hygiene is a fundamental requirement for safe work, the chairs should be washable, disinfectable, and joint-free (without inaccessible cracks and gaps). Furthermore, laboratory chairs should also be specially, ergonomically designed for the laboratory. The work in this field demands fine motor skills, precision and the utmost concentration, so the body should be able to move freely, sit comfortably and be relieved of strain. This should also apply for the special working positions typical of laboratories, such as the forward-inclined posture. But for planners and outfitters of laboratories it is certainly not only the purely technical aspects that play a role.

Focussing on quality is worthwhile - also when designing laboratory chairs

While the laboratory market is growing, the entire working world is in the midst of change. Whether it is stylishly-designed office spaces or light-flooded production halls with machines in a trendy design, how you represent your company is becoming an increasingly bigger factor. Of course, this also applies to the laboratory market. Many laboratory operators not only want a chair that is suitable for the application, but also one which is well- designed. An attractive and high-quality workplace is now deemed to be more important than, for example, financial aspects. With this in mind, high quality laboratory chairs can be an advantage to employers when trying to recruit highly-qualified, skilled workers, which is crucial to the laboratory industry these days. Furthermore, it has been proven that an excellent workplace chair increases employee satisfaction and work performance.
