Toronto, April 18, 2007 – Nightingale announced this week, that their perennial flagship chair the CXO reached an impressive sales milestone of 250,000 units sold since 2004. The CXO chair was launched at Neocon 2004 to great fanfare and promise. Since its launch, the CXO has garnered several design awards and impressed both the dealer and design communities with its intuitive controls, modern design and ultimate sitting comfort.

“The CXO was a major R&D investment with Nightingale. With total tooling and design costs exceeding $7 million dollars and 3.5 years of continuous and focused research and development, the CXO chair was Nightingale's largest product launch since 1963. We believed that the CXO would cater to a high performance ergonomic market that craved unparalled sitting comfort. Since the first CXO chair was sold and delivered, the CXO has continued to be the seating standard of choice with several Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and even the home office client. The chair has dynamically changed our 255,000 sq.ft manufacturing facility to be an example of Lean Manufacturing, allowed Nightingale to hire many new experienced people, expand our distribution base, and most importantly has given our R&D team the confidence to introduce a minimum of 2 ground breaking chairs a year including this years upcoming GXO side chair” states Ed Breen, Vice-President. “Our top line sales growth since 2004 has improved over 163%.”
