IPC COMMUNITY 48 WINTER 2024 What's something about the wire harness industry that has surprised you? Ergonomics is at the core of BOSTONtec as a company. We are passionate about it and have been working very hard to convince the material handling industry of the value and benefits of ergonomic solutions. In collabo- ration with the Ergonomics Center of North Carolina State University 1 , we conducted an ergonomic study to demonstrate the quantifi- able differences from using workstations with ergonomic design features. Over the years, we encountered a lack of awareness and skep- ticism. However, lately, we are surprised in a positive way to notice that more companies in the industry have come around to embrace ergonomics. That makes our job a little easier. What has been the most significant accomplishment for your team in the past year? Our team has grown in response to the increasing interest in and demand for our products. We have achieved better brand rec- ognition through superb customer service and a strong online presence.
