“At National, we strive for continuous improvement in everything we do, from safety and transportation to environmental and education. Our actions have impact beyond our walls and that’s why our responsibilities to our employees, customers, communities and the environment are measured and play an integral role as we move forward as a company.

eCoupled technology is intelligent wireless power. It will allow a product surface to transfer power to any eCoupled enabled device. Since the technology utilizes electromagnetic induction to transfer power from a primary source to a device, it does not require the device to make direct contact with the primary power source. eCoupled technology eliminates the need for multiple power cords and adapters. Users will be able to utilize their mobile devices without the worry or hassle of “plugging in” to charge. Visit www.nationalofficefurniture.com
