Ottobock

Under the umbrella of Otto Bock Holding GmbH & Co. KG, the Otto Bock Group has the three core sectors HealthCare, Plastics, and information & communication technology (SYCOR GmbH). Ottobock is thus established in important global growth markets.

Today, Ottobock is the leading supplier of innovative products for people with restricted mobility, and, as a recognized system provider of high-quality, technologically advanced products and services, it is also the global leader in orthopedic technology. The company was founded in Berlin in 1919, and is now led by Professor Hans Georg Näder, the third-generation managing shareholder. 100 percent of the shares are owned by the Näder family.

In addition to the core competency as the leading company in the Orthobionic® field, from which the developments in the prosthetic and orthotic fields originate, Bionicmobility® is an additional competency of Ottobock. It combines our mobility solutions such as high-quality lightweight and active wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, and products for pediatric rehabilitation and seating shell systems. In addition, Bionicmobility® includes medical technology activities in the functional electrostimulation and neurostimulation fields as well as continuous passive movement devices (CPM).

Otto Bock Plastics

In Europe and the United States, Otto Bock Plastics is a leading supplier of pre-products for the automobile industry. More than 250 employees of Otto Bock Plastics work in over 40,000 m² of production and warehouse space and achieve the peak performance levels demanded every day in a global economy. We are continuously working on innovative developments in conjunction with our customers. The plastics division manufactures flexible polyurethane foams, foam systems for the automotive industry, and, in the company Technogel – a joint venture with the company Selle Royal / Italy – technical gels. The selection of flexible slab-stock foams was expanded further in the year 2000 by adding an ether foam machine, which allowed the development of new markets and technical applications (furniture industry, mattresses). Investments in the latest technology – that is the consistent principle of Otto Bock foam production. In addition, the most modern internal logistics system with a high rack storage complex that is unique for flexible foam ensures on-time deliveries tailored to individual requirements. Sales and application technology service is a matter of course, not only during product introduction but during the entire product lifecycle.
