Adjustable bed supplier Ergomotion reports that it experienced “exceptional growth” in sales, staffing and facilities during 2011.
The Santa Barbara, Calif.-based company hired new employees in sales, marketing, logistics, administration and customer service, effectively doubling its employee roster.
To accommodate its expanded staff, the company moved customer service and warehousing functions to a separate building one block from its headquarters. The new facility houses a call center and shipping center.
Sales in 2011 were quadruple those of 2010, the company said. The growth came, in part, from a vested partnership with a new national distributor, 19 East, in Santa Barbara. Ergomotion principals hold a stake in the new company.
“We are continually creating programs to help the industry understand that we are not selling an adjustable base, we are creating value-added options to better your mattress program,” said Kelly Clenet, Ergomotion co-founder and president. “We try very hard, as well, to be the best support vendor in terms of customer service, marketing support and innovation within the category.”
