Global reach with a personal touch
When our journey started in the early 70s, we set out to enable people to live as independently as possible by challenging that time’s notion of what assistive devices should be. The result became an unprecedented range of innovative products, placing Swedish design of assistive devices in a class of its own.
Today, we are a global business with products that make a positive difference to people’s lives on a daily basis, all over the world. Although we have grown significantly since our beginnings, we have maintained our 'small company feel'. To us, this combines the best of two worlds — global reach with a personal touch.

Our dedication to longevity includes being a positive force in the communities where we work, and create solutions that meet the needs of tomorrow. We do so through our three overarching sustainability commitments to care for people, the environment and take our corporate responsibility seriously.
