NEWSFLASH📣: BraunAbility partners with Olmedo S.p.A to produce wheelchair lifts in Europe 🤝♿
We are delighted to announce that BraunAbility has partnered with Olmedo Special Vehicles S.p.A., a mobility company located in Reggio Emilia, Italy. This collaboration will bring production closer to European, Middle Eastern, and African (EMEA) markets. The aim is to strengthen our connection with partners and enhance the quality and flexibility of our offerings even further.
BraunAbility's focus on quality and safety aligns with Olmedo's strong track record in manufacturing. Through this collaboration, we are able to produce our high-quality wheelchair lifts closer to our European partners. In addition, lifts will be available quicker due to reduced lead times. Stronger connections with our suppliers, improved support, and increased stock availability are further benefits to expect.
According to Martin Iserö, this partnership demonstrates both commitment and the ability to change:
“This partnership will establish a new manufacturing facility, built by our partner Olmedo, as the core of our operations. Their new facility will produce wheelchair lifts efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards. Olmedo assembles and ships our lifts directly from their production line to our customers. Besides creating new opportunities, this initiative also enhances BraunAbility Europe’s stock availability, facilitates faster delivery, and increases our overall flexibility.”
Olmedo's CEO, Luca Quintavalli, is content with the growth of their partnership with BraunAbility Europe:
“We are proud to face this challenge alongside BraunAbility, a company that represents the global point of reference in the sector thanks to its history, prestige, and attention to customers; Olmedo's 72 years of history in the automotive world will be the starting point of this long-term synergy, created to improve the quality of products and services in our industry on global markets.”
Production will begin in the second quarter of 2024, starting with our E-Series folding lifts, and will expand to other models from this series throughout the year.
