Loctek Ergonomic Technology Corp. (乐歌人体工学科技股份有限公司), commonly known internationally as Loctek, is a Chinese technology and manufacturing company specialising in ergonomic furniture, height-adjustable systems, and electric linear-actuation solutions. Headquartered in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China, the firm has evolved from a manufacturing business into a global brand serving both home and office environments.[1][2]

The company’s product portfolio includes standing desks, desk converters, monitor arms, TV mounts, electric adjustable beds, and other items designed around adjustable positioning and healthier workspaces. Its international business also operates under the LoctekMotion identity, particularly for OEM/ODM and linear-actuator solutions.[1]

Established in March 2002, Loctek was subsequently listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange’s ChiNext board on 1 December 2017 under stock code 300729.[2]

Loctek’s underlying business is built around mechanical adjustment and electric linear-motion technology, which is incorporated into various furniture and ergonomic products rather than being limited to a single category.

Height-adjustable desks

Standing desks are among Loctek’s most recognisable products. These electric desks typically utilise motorised columns and control systems that allow users to alternate between sitting and standing positions. Current LoctekMotion products feature single- and dual-motor configurations, multi-stage lifting columns, programmable controls, and various desktop options.[1]

Desk converters

Sit-stand desk converters are designed to sit atop an existing workstation, allowing the monitor and keyboard surface to be raised or lowered without replacing the entire desk. This category addresses users seeking adjustable workstations without the investment of a complete standing desk system.

Monitor arms

Monitor arms remain a significant part of the portfolio. Available types include gas-spring, single-monitor, dual-monitor, aluminium, gaming-oriented, and intelligent docking arms. Features vary by model but may include quick-release VESA plates, height adjustment, cable management, USB connectivity, and multi-monitor support.[2]

TV mounts

Television mounting products were central to Loctek’s early history. The company’s expertise in mounting and load-bearing mechanisms predates its entry into the broader ergonomic furniture market.[1]

Electric adjustable beds

Linear-actuation technology has been extended beyond office furniture into electric adjustable beds and recliner systems. Current LoctekMotion products include adjustable bed frames with zero-gravity positioning, wireless remote control, and anti-snore positioning.[1]

Ergonomic and active-office products

The company has expanded into adjacent categories reflecting a strategy focused on healthy, flexible, and technology-enabled spaces. These include:

• Ergonomic chairs
• Under-desk exercise bikes
• Home-office exercise equipment
• Keyboard trays
• CPU holders
• Desk accessories
• Adjustable tables
• Overbed tables[1]

LoctekMotion is strongly associated with the company’s international business, specifically its OEM/ODM and motion-technology capabilities. Its platform emphasises electric linear actuators, height-adjustable desk systems, and customisable components.[2]

Loctek operates across multiple levels of the value chain: technology, components, OEM/ODM, finished products, and consumer branding. Unlike brands that source motors externally, a significant portion of Loctek’s business involves designing and manufacturing the actuation and mechanical systems themselves.

The technological foundation of Loctek is linear actuation, which converts rotational or electrical energy into controlled linear movement. In adjustable desks, for example, this allows the column to extend or retract to change the work surface height.

Development areas include:

• Linear-drive technology and high-speed, low-noise drives
• Electric motors and motorised systems
• Desk lifting columns and height-adjustment mechanisms
• Control systems and embedded hardware/software
• IoT applications
• Ergonomic engineering and product design
• Manufacturing automation

According to data through the end of 2023, Loctek reported holding more than 1,287 patents, including 153 invention patents, and employing an R&D team of over 700 engineers. More than half of its products were reportedly protected by patents as of 2023. These figures are corporate disclosures rather than independently audited rankings.[1]

Manufacturing is a primary competitive characteristic of Loctek. The company operates four factories across China and Vietnam, positioning itself as a provider of electric linear actuators and customisable ergonomic products.[1]

This infrastructure provides several strategic advantages:

• Control over component manufacturing
• Ability to develop customised products
• Vertical integration
• Large-scale production capacity
• OEM/ODM capability
• International supply-chain flexibility

Consequently, Loctek occupies a hybrid position between a furniture company, a technology manufacturer, and a contract/OEM manufacturer.

Although originating in China, Loctek has pursued an international strategy for many years. It has established overseas operations and logistics infrastructure in markets including the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines.[1][2]

This global footprint supports both B2B and B2C models. For ergonomic products such as standing desks and monitor arms, the company sells directly to consumers via e-commerce channels as well as through retailers and distributors. Overseas warehouses enable shorter delivery times and local inventory holding.[2]

Loctek’s business model comprises two distinct sides:

Consumer-facing business

This segment focuses on finished products sold under the Loctek brand through retailers or online stores directly to consumers.

Manufacturing and technology business

This B2B-oriented segment supplies linear actuators, mechanisms, and complete systems to OEM/ODM customers for use under their own brands. Through LoctekMotion, the company explicitly promotes customisation and ODM services, allowing it to participate in the ergonomic furniture market even when the final product does not carry the Loctek name.[2]

Loctek states that its products undergo testing for durability, stability, load capacity, control-box aging, high/low-temperature operation, control-panel water resistance, and noise levels. Depending on the specific product and target market, certifications may include CB, CE, ISO, and UL standards. Not every product carries every certification; applicability depends on the model and regional requirements.[1]

Loctek’s central concept combines technology, ergonomics, adjustability, and healthier environments. Historically, the company has advocated for adjustable rather than static furniture. Whereas a traditional desk enforces a fixed posture, a Loctek-style ergonomic workstation allows the user to adapt the space to their needs. This philosophy extends across desks, monitor positioning, beds, chairs, and other home and office products.[2]

The company was founded by Xiang Lehong (项乐宏), who serves as chairman. Corporate materials identify him as having played key engineering, product, and business-development roles. His involvement reflects Loctek’s long-term strategy of combining manufacturing, technology development, branding, and overseas expansion.[1]

Loctek has increasingly incorporated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into corporate reporting. Its 2025 Sustainable Development Report covers the company and its subsidiaries, detailing sustainability activities for fiscal year 2025. Broader corporate materials also highlight achievements related to green manufacturing, intellectual property, and industrial technology.[3]

Loctek competes across multiple segments:

• Standing desks: Competitors include FlexiSpot, Vari, UPLIFT Desk, and other height-adjustable furniture manufacturers.
• Monitor arms: Competition comes from Ergotron, Humanscale, VIVO, and specialist manufacturers.
• TV mounting: The landscape includes Sanus and other mounting-system companies.
• Linear actuators: Loctek competes in an industrial B2B market for adjustable-furniture components.

Rather than being solely a standing desk company, Loctek is best characterised as an ergonomic-furniture and motion-technology manufacturer with a consumer brand.

Loctek is a vertically integrated Chinese ergonomic-technology company. Its evolution spans manufacturing, TV and monitor mounts, ergonomic products, height-adjustable desks, linear-actuation technology, smart furniture, and a global consumer plus OEM/ODM business. Its primary differentiator is the combination of manufacturing scale, proprietary linear-actuation technology, ergonomic product development, and international distribution.[1][2]
