What Innovative Office Products does

Innovative Office Products, operating commercially as HAT Design Works under the legal entity Human Active Technology, LLC, is a US-based designer and manufacturer of purpose-built mounting solutions for monitors, displays, POS hardware, and peripherals. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Easton, PA, the company designs and assembles a majority of its products in the United States, serving six articulated verticals: Custom + OEM, Commerce + Retail, Casino, Hospitality, Healthcare, and Government + Public Sector. Its product portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-categories architecture spanning IT Solutions (monitor arms, modular mounts, wall/pole/ceiling/freestanding/wall-track mounts, keyboard and laptop mounts, height-adjustable bases, worksurfaces, sit-stand converters, storage, seating, and accessories including power, cable management, lighting, CPU holders, and keyboard trays) and Commerce (payment device mounts, kiosk stands, tablet enclosures, and the Redwood modular checkout mounting system launched in February 2026), supplemented by engineered Custom + OEM services. Differentiated capabilities include modular and reconfigurable hardware, vertical-specific compliance (TAA for government, ADA and infection-control for healthcare, ruggedized specifications for casino and military), and award-winning industrial design.

The company operates a B2B go-to-market model combining a dealer/reseller network, direct enterprise sales (via phone at 800 524 2744 and an 'Inquire Now' contact form), and OEM/custom manufacturing partnerships that distribute globally through integrators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; dealers access pricebook and MAP policy resources, and there is no consumer-facing e-commerce storefront. Revenue mechanics are one-time hardware product sales with optional accessories and add-on components, supplemented by custom engineering revenue from OEM partners. Customer segments are diversified across use-case verticals rather than by company size, with Custom + OEM and Commerce + Retail flagged as primary and Casino, Hospitality, Healthcare, and Government + Public Sector as secondary verticals.

Corporate development history includes a February 2018 investment from Cathay Capital and a June 2018 acquisition of HAT Contract, indicating a prior period of institutional capital deployment and inorganic capability expansion. The company is privately held with no public ticker, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no disclosed equity structure beyond the LLC designation. Headcount is reported in the 51–100 range, consistent with a mid-market specialty manufacturer.
