Any Mac-friendly company
is a welcome addition to the ever-growing list of Those Who
Think Different, but few indeed are the businesses that actually
design different.
Enter Hergo Ergonomic
Support Systems, Inc. Based in New York City, Hergo
is a leading independent designer and original manufacturer
of modular racking systems and enclosure cabinet solutions.
Their unusual name is a blending of the founder’s name
(Eli Hertz) and the word ergonomic.
Having started out as one of
the first IBM PC clone manufacturers in the United States
in 1982, selling workstations and file servers, Hergo is in
the position to know exactly what technology requirements
a growing business needs.
They provide a wide variety
of racks and cabinets, and design modularly, so that you can
keep adding to your space the components that you need, without
worry of excessive clutter. In addition to the aforementioned
racks and cabinets, Hergo also offers carts, computer desks,
cable and power management components, peripherals, KVM switches,
and even custom metal manufacturing and fabrication.
While they have been providing
hardware for Macs for only a year, Hergo says their plans
for the future are to get more of the Mac market share, and
to continually improve and innovate workplace solutions.
