3M partners with StrongArm Technologies to focus on “industrial athletes”
A new partnership has been struck between 3M and StrongArm Technologies, Inc. StrongArm is a New York City based startup company that creates athletic equipment for industrial workers to prevent injuries and maximize performance. StrongArm is the market leader of its category and has recently gained the support of 3M.
StrongArm designs and manufactures patent protected products aimed to increase the safety and productivity of workers engaged in manual lifting and materials handling. The company has launched ErgoSkeleton™ personal performance equipment, ergonomically influenced exoskeleton products for industrial workers identified as V22 and FLx. The V22 is a passive ErgoSkeleton™ that helps workers lift heavy boxes by redistributing the load on the body, allowing the user to lift safer and for longer distances. The FLx is a streamlined ErgoSkeleton™ that supports proper posture and reduces fatigue.
