Permobil

🏠 Welcome to our new home in Sundsvall! 🏠 This innovative center brings Permobil’s operations closer together, improving both efficiency and collaboration capabilities. The construction sets a new standard for accessibility, with inclusive features designed together with wheelchair users. Further, a gold LEED certification has been awarded for the facility’s commitment to sustainability. Yesterday, at 07:15am Swedish time, our first power wheelchair rolled off the new production line! All teams will officially start working here at full capacity on September 12th. #Permobil #InnovatingForIndividuals

On the new Permobil Store, providers will be able to configure their customers' TiLite X or TiLite Z and visualize exactly what it looks like, including color, dimensions, and configurations before it ships. Building a chair there will also ensure all configurations are compatible. The Permobil Store also allows providers to quote and order these products and their spare parts, keep track of their work, and build chair templates for efficiency.   This is another step that Permobil is taking to ensure an efficient ordering process and that customers can be confident in their chair before it arrives. Check out the store here: https://lnkd.in/gR3fUXAn *The TiLite X and TiLite Z are available for order now in the US and October 30 in Canada #TiLite #manualwheelchair #PermobilStore #customwheelchair

Permobil products aim to enhance wheelchair users' quality of life by meeting functional, social, and emotional needs. To enable this, we surveyed 107 F5 Corpus VS users to better understand how they use their wheelchairs and the impact it has in their daily lives. More studies with global research partners are planned for 2024. Read how we achieved that and other stories of our Sustainability journey in our annual Sustainability Report: https://lnkd.in/dnzf7Yb2 #Permobil #Sustainability

October is Disability Employment Awareness Month, and Patrik Wolff, Social Media & Project Manager, shares his journey to finding a job at Permobil: “As a power wheelchair user with some physical limitations, I knew finding a job after college would be a greater challenge than for my peers. Luckily, an internship at Permobil opened up, and I went from part-time consultant to full-time employee in 1 1/2 years. My colleagues have been amazing mentors, and I've learned so much. I joined Permobil because I love and trust their products, but it has given me so much more – a sense of purpose and a place that feels like home.” - Patrik #Permobil #InnovatingForIndividuals #DisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth #DEAM #NDEAM
