Advanced rehab mobility solutions are not only key components that improve the quality of life for people with functional disabilities, but also an essential part of medical treatment. The complex and special nature of rehab technology demands substantial investments in research and development, which is at the core of Permobil’s business. All chairs from Permobil are built to order and designed to cater to the specific medical needs of the individual. In the endeavor to build top-quality powered and manual wheelchairs, Permobil constantly strives to innovate. In doing so the company is pushing the boundaries of what is possible, resulting in many “firsts” in the industry.
Today, Permobil’s products are sold in more than 70 countries worldwide. North America and Europe are its largest markets, but Permobil is proud that its innovative solutions are being made available to more and more disabled people around the World.
Since Patricia Industries acquired Permobil in 2013, the company has been growing strongly on its own as well as through select acquisitions of product market leaders and distributors that help us become even more relevant to our customers.
