In the year 2000 Posiflex Design was born.This company headed by Mrs Lyne Noiseux specialized in conception and consultation on product design. Laborie Medical Technologies, Horizon Environnement and Gestion Techno-Médic were among Posiflex’s clients.
Following mandates from l’Association pour la Santé & Sécurité du Travail Secteur Affaires Sociales (ASSTSAS), the company mission evolved from consulting to developing and putting on the market ergonomic solutions that help workers health.
After three years of research and clinical studies in collaboration with ASSTAS*, the Université du Québec in Montreal ergonomics department and the IRSST**, Posiflex Design first product, the Posiflex Free Motion Elbow Support, was introduced on the market in 2002. Made available in North America through a well established dental equipment distribution network, more than 5 000 users benefit from the Posiflex difference to date. Since then, the company has developed other ergonomic seating devices.
Posiflex Design now offers a larger spectrum of products and has expended its distribution to other fields such as, health laboratories, industrial sector, Spa and aesthetic both in North America and Europe.
*ASSTSAS is an organisation similar to the Work person Compensation Board in other provinces. Its mandate is to specifically operate in the health and social affairs.
** IRSST is the Institute in research for health and work safety for the province of Québec.
