Ottobock Industrials

Industrial enterprises are facing special challenges in view of demographic developments. The rising life expectancy and decreasing birth rate are leading to an ageing workforce and a lack of workers. This results in an increased demand for technical solutions that help people protect their health over the long-term as they carry out their everyday working routines. Ottobock Industrials develops precisely such innovative devices for an ergonomic workplace.

Ergonomics in the workplace

The medical technology company Ottobock is transferring its almost 100 years of expertise in biomechanics and orthopaedics to a new business unit. Since 2012, the company has been researching innovative solutions to make jobs in industry, logistics and trades more ergonomic. The goal is to provide relief for people who perform physically demanding tasks such as, for example, overhead work, thereby creating healthier working conditions. Ottobock Industrials offers various solutions for assembly, painting and construction.
