Humanscale Becomes First in Industry to Bring Die-Casting In-House
Humanscale, the world’s leader in high-performance ergonomic products including seating, monitor arms, sit-stand tables, and more, has expanded its operations in Nogales, Mexico with the addition of a state-of-the-art die-casting facility, a manufacturing process that uses high-pressure moulds to create complex metal components with extreme precision and durability. The facility can now produce over 1 million parts per month, meeting demand for their product range with unmatched speed and quality. This increased capacity allows for faster delivery, lower environmental impact, and the fulfillment of large, custom orders on demand, virtually eliminating out-of-stock conditions.
Sustainability-First Facility in Nogales, MX Replaces Overseas Outsourcing
These are the first and only ergonomic workspace products not just for home office and monitor arm categories to be cast and assembled in Mexico. Humanscale selected Mexico for its proximity to the North American market, cost efficiencies, and a reliable, dedicated workforce. Producing the same volume in the United States would not only be far more costly but also significantly more challenging in terms of recruiting qualified, long-term workers. Leveraging the strengths of a close regional partner creates efficiencies that make the company stronger and more competitive, benefiting both nations economically.
Most die-cast products, and certainly monitor arms, are traditionally outsourced to Asia, primarily China, where environmental and manufacturing practices often lack transparency. Long lead times and increasing political volatility have made supply reliability a growing concern across the industry. By localizing manufacturing and employing cutting-edge equipment that consumes less energy, Humanscale has dramatically reduced its overall carbon footprint—while increasing speed and responsiveness to customer demand.
The facility uses 100% recycled aluminium and operates through a closed-loop, high-efficiency process powered by advanced automation and precision tooling. Like all of Humanscale’s manufacturing operations, the Nogales facility reflects a deep commitment to sustainability:
- TRUE Zero Waste to Landfill certified;
- Powered by 100% renewable electricity, including on-site solar;
- Rainwater collection supplies 100% of production needs.
This milestone reflects Humanscale’s ongoing leadership in performance, sustainability, and innovation, and is made possible by the dedicated teams across both sides of the border.
