OEM Compatibility
- Compatico is the originator and leader of the aftermarket parts industry.
- For over thirty years, office furniture dealers, remanufacturers and refurbishers have depended on Compatico for compatible parts to service their clients.
- Compatibility is with Herman Miller™ AO1™, AO2™. We have thousands of customers who are purchasing parts specifically to integrate with existing OEM systems.
- Compatico sells a Herman Miller™ AO1™-compatible electrical system (3 circuit/6 wire) that is fully interchangeable. Our AO2™ electrical system is not fully integrateable with Herman Miller™’s electrical system, however a connection to join existing Herman Miller™ 4 circuit/8 wire electrical can be done via a transition jumper connector. All Compatico power is from Byrne Electric (Rockford, Michigan), a leading supplier to major OEM manufacturers.
