Health2Work

What Health2Work does

Health2Work B.V. is a privately held Dutch ergonomics company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Surhuisterveen, Netherlands, with 11-50 employees and seven showrooms spanning the Netherlands (Surhuisterveen, Blaricum, Apeldoorn, Hillegom, Eindhoven, Roermond) and Belgium (Gent). The company distributes and advises on ergonomic workplace solutions, including adjustable office chairs, sit-stand desks, ergonomic mice and keyboards, desk bikes, balance boards (e.g., Steppie), monitor arms, footrests, and acoustic room solutions for office environments; patient lifts, exoskeletons, IP66-rated cleanroom peripherals, and specialized care seating for healthcare; height-adjustable classroom furniture and custom children's chairs (e.g., Mercado REAL 9000 PLUS) for education; and anti-fatigue mats, work stools, and lifting aids for industrial buyers. Underlying technical differentiation rests on ergonomic design customization (variable-angle adjustable mice, modular children's chair systems) rather than proprietary software platforms, supported by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications at the main entity.

The commercial model combines a product-led e-commerce channel with consultative enterprise selling. Customers can order directly via health2work.nl with transparent unit pricing (e.g., €1,439.84 for the Mercado REAL 9000 PLUS chair, €399 for the Ergodeskbike Basic 2.0) and benefit from a 30-day free trial placement (proefplaatsing) that allows risk-free testing before purchase. Larger enterprise and institutional deals (multi-year contracts, bulk pricing, custom workspace fitting) are quote-based and supported by an in-house ergonomic advisory team available by phone, WhatsApp, chat, and on-site consultation. Customer base spans several thousand organizations across education (Herman Broerenschool, Segbroek College, ROC van Twente), healthcare (Anna Zorggroep, Revalidatie Friesland, Zorggroep Amsterdam Oost), and corporate accounts (Gasunie, Jacobs Nederland, Brunel, Damen, Anton Paar).

The company also offers professional services—workspace analysis (werkplekanalyse), chair cleaning/repair, complete workspace fitting, OCI procurement integration, workshops, and an Ergocoach training program for healthcare providers—and uses sub-brands Health2School (education movement initiative) and Ergonomie2Meet (free ergonomic meeting spaces for occupational health partners) for vertical and ecosystem outreach. The Ergonomie2Meet program and a 200+ page Ergonomiegids function as content-marketing and channel-leverage assets rather than software offerings.
