Workstations, also known as workbenches, may seem futile, but they play an important role on any manufacturing floor. They serve as the nexus of productivity, providing a dedicated space for employees to perform jobs with optimal efficiency. Many essential tasks are completed with the help of industrial workstations and tool workbenches. Set your employees up for success by equipping them with custom, ergonomic, and modular workstations to foster comfort, satisfaction, retention, and productivity.


The importance of a custom workstation

There are many workstation providers. How do you know which is best? According to manufacturers, customization of workstations is key to obtaining the right fit for a safe and comfortable work area for your employees. With Vention’s 3D CAD design software, anyone can build a custom workstation from scratch. All you need to know is the ideal dimensions of your structure and its estimated load. Once you know these numbers, designing is as easy as snapping modular parts together and adding on pre-vetted accessories.

Modular components crucial for long-term success

It’s very common for manufacturing floors to change and evolve over time, necessitating adaptable equipment. Instead of having to purchase a brand new workstation to make edits or upgrades, invest in a workstation made of modular components from the outset. Vention’s Parts Library is made up of thousands of modular components, all rigorously tested for compatibility. This makes reconfiguring your modular workstation simple when the time comes.

With Vention, your custom workstation can be designed one day and delivered the next. We ensure this next-day shipping with in-stock parts and distribution centers in North America and Europe. Once you receive your industrial worktable, assemble it in just a few hours using a single tool.
