Permobil

Permobil is a Swedish assistive-technology company whose work centers on mobility and products intended to support people with disabilities. Its founder, Swedish doctor Dr. Per Uddén, encountered people with polio who were confined indoors and pursued a powered-wheelchair solution. Permobil says that effort led to some of the first power wheelchairs and that its founder’s commitment to independence continues to inform the company’s mission. The company’s core range includes power wheelchairs, with configurations, power functions, accessories, and connectivity intended to meet individual users’ needs. Its current portfolio also covers manual wheelchairs, seating and positioning, and power assist. Permobil presents connectivity as a way to support chair reliability and service: its +Connect offering works with enabled power wheelchairs, while the MyPermobil app provides users with usage and battery-status information. The company describes its broader mission as developing advanced assistive-technology solutions to support quality of life and independence. Permobil’s product-brand family includes TiLite, PDG Mobility, and ROHO, alongside Permobil-branded wheelchairs and products. TiLite makes customized manual wheelchairs in aluminum or titanium; PDG Mobility offers a selection of mobility chairs and customization; and Permobil’s website describes Comfort Unite as combining technologies associated with ROHO and Comfort in a seating and positioning solution. The company serves customers internationally. Permobil is part of Patricia Industries, within Investor AB.

Permobil traces its origins to the work of Dr. Per Uddén, a doctor in Sweden who met polio patients confined indoors and sought a way to improve their mobility. The company says that his effort resulted in some of the first power wheelchairs. Uddén’s belief that helping people achieve greater independence is a basic human right remains central to the company’s stated mission. Permobil was founded in 1967 and has developed its identity around powered mobility and assistive technology. Over time, the company’s offerings expanded beyond power wheelchairs. Its present product categories include power and manual wheelchairs, seating and positioning, and power assist. The brand describes its power wheelchairs as customizable, with power functions and accessories that can be adapted to individual needs. Its portfolio also includes related product brands. TiLite applies materials and customization expertise to manual wheelchairs made from aluminum or titanium, while PDG Mobility offers mobility chairs and customization. Permobil’s website presents Comfort Unite as a seating and positioning series that brings together technologies associated with ROHO and Comfort. Permobil has also developed digital support around its powered chairs. +Connect is designed to provide remote service support, configuration, troubleshooting, and wheelchair information, while the MyPermobil app gives end users access to usage and battery-status information. The company says the connected features are intended to support reliability and long-term performance, and describes its approach to data as limited to information needed for practical benefits over the life of the chair. The company’s current public presentation emphasizes advanced assistive technology, personalization, independence, and quality of life. Its website also describes international customer reach for PDG Mobility. Permobil is part of Patricia Industries, which belongs to Investor AB. Its product portfolio and digital-service announcements show a continuing focus on combining mobility equipment with customization and service support.
