Solar powered operations : Our Austin facilities produce over a megawatt of electricity through roof-mounted solar panels on three large warehouses

We use sustainable materials in our products. Some examples are :

Bamboo Desktops, Drawers, & Motion Boards : The world's fastest-growing plant, Moso bamboo is a grass that grows as quickly as an inch an hour

Eco Curve Desktops : Eco Curve desktops use 100% recycled MDF and have the lowest carbon footprint in the industry due to not using edgebanding, backer boards, adhesives, or solvents
