SKS Rehab and Roltec merged to become SKS Roltec, and sold to Eqwal Group
We have advised the shareholders of SKS Rehab AG (SKS Rehab) and Roltec El-Korestole A/S (Roltec), two leading European high-end power wheelchair providers, on the merger to become SKS Roltec and sale to Eqwal Group (Eqwal), a portfolio company of Naxicap Partners.
Swiss-based SKS Rehab and Danish-based Roltec have decided to merge into SKS Roltec, after a multi-year increase in co-operation. The ambition is to further enhance their position in the European wheelchair market by providing high-end and individualised solutions for advanced customer needs. This will drive innovation, strengthen their presence across all European markets with a focus on customer proximity, and enhance both technical expertise and solution-oriented capabilities.
SKS Roltec has chosen to become part of Eqwal, renowned for its expertise in supporting people with disabilities worldwide, as well as its leadership in digital solutions and upper limb prosthetics. Also, Eqwal operates the Eqwal Foundation, which supports people with disabilities in underprivileged countries around the world. The integration of SKS Roltec will place them at the core of Eqwal’s development in ‘mobility’ and business-to-business activity, helping to strengthen the group’s mission to serve patients around the world.
SKS Rehab and Roltec appear to be the ideal partners. We share the same vision on quality, individualisation, and how to address complex customer needs. I am looking forward to strengthening our product range, solutions capabilities, and market presence.
I expect SKS Roltec to accelerate innovation, broaden significantly their product range and enhance their ability to provide even better solutions for our customers. We are lucky to have found Eqwal as the owner and active supporter of our vision to establish our presence in all European markets.
We are enthusiastic to welcome SKS Roltec to Eqwal to fill an important strategic ambition, providing innovative and high-performing mobility solutions to our customer group. We believe in and will support SKS Roltec’s potential to expand its market position.
