Industry in transition - what matters now

Industry is undergoing fundamental change. Advances in automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence are transforming not only production processes, but also the requirements for workplaces and their equipment. High-tech industries in particular, which have grown rapidly in recent years, are facing increasingly complex challenges. The manufacture of semiconductors, medical devices, and biotech products requires specialized working environments such as clean rooms and laboratories in order to meet the highest quality standards.  

This industrial transformation is accompanied by global competition, which is forcing companies to focus on greater innovation and efficiency. The importance of high-tech jobs is growing rapidly in sectors such as the pharmaceutical industry, microelectronics, and the automotive industry. Autonomous driving in particular is driving demand for microchips to new heights. This development makes it necessary not only to drive technological innovation, but also to adapt working conditions for employees to these new requirements.

More and more jobs in laboratories and clean rooms

With increasing technological advancement, the number of clean rooms and laboratories worldwide is growing. These specialized workplaces require maximum hygiene and particle safety, as even the smallest contaminants can jeopardize production processes. To meet the high standards, innovative concepts such as seamless design and fully encapsulated mechanics are used to minimize the risk of contamination.  

Today, clean rooms are no longer found only in medical technology or pharmaceuticals, but also in areas such as nanotechnology, aviation, and sensor manufacturing. Laboratories, in turn, are central to research and development. They require equipment that supports precise work as well as quick and thorough cleaning.

Attracting and retaining specialized professionals

In addition to technological advances, the shortage of skilled workers is a key challenge facing high-tech industries. Work environments such as laboratories and clean rooms require not only precise technical equipment, but also qualified employees who know how to use it. The focus is on safety, efficiency, and ergonomics.  

A well-designed workplace that supports employee health is increasingly becoming a competitive advantage in the battle for talent. Ergonomic seating solutions such as the Bimos TEXON make an important contribution to employee retention by combining comfort with optimal support. This not only increases satisfaction, but also performance. In addition, work chairs that contribute to safety when handling products relieve mental strain on employees and promote relaxed and focused work. This is an advantage for companies that need to focus on innovation in order to remain competitive.

High-tech facilities for changing workplaces

The requirements for work furniture in clean rooms and laboratories are diverse. In addition to ergonomics and durability, hygienic aspects are particularly important. Seating furniture must also be designed so that it is easy to clean and does not release any particles that could compromise the cleanliness of the environment. 

Cleanroom chairs such as the Bimos TEXON combine innovative technology with maximum hygiene. The “hygienic design” with smooth, seamless surfaces minimizes the risk of contamination and can be easily washed down. In addition, the materials provide protection against electrostatic discharge; the ESD upholstery version of the TEXON, Skintec, also reliably dissipates static electricity in both the light and dark versions. These properties meet international standards and make cleanroom and laboratory chairs such as the TEXON the ideal solution for high-tech working environments.

TEXON as a high-quality solution for high-tech rooms

Bimos TEXON was developed specifically for the requirements of high-tech industries. Its properties are as diverse as its areas of application: whether in clean rooms, laboratories, or ESD-protected work areas, TEXON offers the highest level of safety and comfort everywhere. 

Certified for cleanrooms  the chair reduces particle emissions to a minimum and complies with air purity class 3 according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1. This is achieved through fully encapsulated mechanisms and resistant materials. In ESD areas, the TEXON reliably dissipates electrostatic charges in accordance with EN 61340-5-1, thereby protecting sensitive electronics. The chair also scores highly in laboratories [Link laboratory chairs/laboratory-texon] thanks to its robust construction, which can withstand contact with chemicals and strong cleaning agents.  

The ergonomics of the TEXON are not only an expression of appreciation for employees, but also provide them with targeted support in their work. Individually adjustable functions such as Auto-Motion technology and 4D armrests enable an optimal sitting posture, which promotes concentration and reduces fatigue.

What's more, the TEXON's design is the work of professionals: renowned design agency PHOENIX has used it to bring the themes of progress and approachability to life, building a bridge between people, high-tech and the working world of the future. For this, the TEXON has won both the Red Dot 2024 and the German Design Award 2024. 

More power with TEXON

Studies show that ergonomic seating solutions can increase productivity and reduce absenteeism due to illness. The TEXON creates optimal conditions for concentrated work by supporting a natural posture while promoting freedom of movement.

Auto-Motion technology ensures that the seat and backrest move in sync with the body. This prevents tension and improves blood circulation. When working in a forward-leaning position, the back receives optimal support without restricting the necessary freedom of movement. This is also guaranteed by the tapered backrest. For strenuous tasks, the backrest can be locked and the chair equipped with glides or seat stop casters – providing strong support when it matters. With casters, on the other hand, employees are more flexible in their work processes.

With its combination of safety, ergonomics, and aesthetic design, TEXON sets new standards in workplace design. For companies that value innovation and efficiency, TEXON is not only an investment in the health of their employees, but also a contribution to long-term competitiveness. 

Configuring the CLEANROOM TEXON 

The future of high-tech industries requires not only innovative technologies, but also workplaces that enable these innovations. The Bimos TEXON shows how well-thought-out design, functionality, and ergonomics can become a decisive factor for success.
