Company Profile

with us you have the right posture!

manufacturing design-oriented, long lasting and ergonomically perfect chairs with an attractive price-performance ratio for the office environment has always been a guiding principle at viasit. our company name wasn´t given by chance: viasit stands for the way to better sitting.

with the development of a complete, ergonomic and proven chair programme - from the simple plastic shell chair to the exclusive executive chair - the company has achieved an extremely dynamic growth in the last few years. today viasit belongs to those much admired and still relatively young market players in the office chair segment who are the source or important market impulses. with new products, emphasising the factor design, viasit will improve its position further.

\"the route defines the goal\"
is the company philosophy of viasit.


the company viasit was founded in 1980 by the two directors werner schmeer (marketing & sales) and alfons weber (production / materials management) and has become today an internationally renowned manufacture of office chairs. a total of 80 employees at the company headquarters in neunkirchen, saarland are responsible for proficient customer relations, reliable order processing and professional service. in the country as a whole 500 authorised dealers ensure the presence overall of the viasit products and also the required closeness to the market.

viasit´s modern office building, in use by the company since 1991, is located on the land of the town´s former steelworks and the building´s proximity to the decommis-sioned blast furnace presents a fascinating architectural contrast. in 2002 the company´s building had to be extended. \"we were bursting at the seams and were forced to enlarge our production area from 4,200 to 7,200 sq m\", comment the two directors, werner schmeer and alfons weber. up to 1,200 chairs can now be produced a day in the production area, which has been almost doubled in size, and the 48-hour delivery service already in operation for some models can now be extended to further products. the company has invested 3.5 million euro. within a single year two new storeys were added, the second and the third floors, for the new viasit information centre. with these new training and display floors it is possible to present the \"aesthetic product\" office chair to a wide public. dealers and end customers can be informed over the whole 800 sq m in the architecturally pleasing surroundings about ideas on ergonomics and also the range of materials and colours of the viasit products.

viasit - the name says everything. since starting out 1980 the company emphasises in particular the ergonomic design of its chairs. not least for this reason viasit works together successfully with experts in occupational medicine. most viasit chairs have been frequently certified: they don´t only have the \"gs symbol\" but also the \"ergonomics check\" seal. but design hasn´t been overlooked either. the design-team has already received a large number of prizes and awards. the trend is to high quality materials and a clear-cut form. high-tech components are in demand and the basic attitude is \"less is more\". in addition the customer is becoming much more adventurous with respect to colour. currently there are fourteen product families in the viasit programme. top of the range is futura - according to werner schmeer: \"a collection which has incurred the highest investment and costs in the company´s history up to now.\"

by adhering strictly to the principle of only producing to order viasit can claim to have the shortest delivery in the office chair industry. depending upon model the delivery is between 24 hours and a maximum of three weeks. each day around 500 chairs leave the factory, 30% for export orders - above all in the eu states. the main markets are benelux, france and austria. viasit exports also to sri lanka and singapore and has licence agreements with companies in the uk, the usa and australia. and as alfons weber emphasises, \"we also have an exclusive agreement for all us government civil and military facilities outside the usa itself.\"

concerning quality management viasit is also one of the best, as is born out by the fact that the company has been certified according to iso 9001 regularly since 1996.
