A Women-Owned Ergonomics Company

October is an exciting month for us. Not only is it National Ergonomics Month, but it’s also National Women’s Small Business Month! Laurie started Advanced Ergonomic Concepts in 1996 wanting to balance being a mom with being a working professional. Her mission was to provide quality ergonomic solutions that work and make a positive impact on the customer’s comfort level.

From the early days of a one-woman home office to our current location in Westport, Advanced Ergonomic Concepts has grown to be a successful business.  AEC has become a trusted ergonomic source for major local companies as well as their branches throughout the United States.

Advanced Ergonomic Concepts is WBE certified with the State of Missouri and participates in local Supplier Diversity events and Corporate Programs.  We encourage you to establish or participate in diversity programs and opportunities to buy from women-owned businesses when possible.  According to research conducted by WEConnect International, women-owned businesses earn less than 1 percent of the money spent on vendors by large corporations and governments.

The National Association of Women Business Owners has some interesting statics on women-owned businesses.  For example, women-owned firms account for 39% of all privately held firms and contribute 8% of employment and 4.2% of revenues.  Click here for additional information.
