Passion for Paralympics
Our partnership with the Paralympics started in Seoul in 1988. Ottobock has been at every Summer and Winter Paralympic Games ever since, paving the way for good sportsmanship between the athletes.
We are a loyal partner, providing the athletes with our free technical service in all disciplines – from the 100-metre dash to wheelchair basketball, and from the biathlon to sledge hockey.
Taking responsibility globally
Our commitment to sustainability finds its particular expression in the positive social impact of our products and the values-led management of the company by the owner family.
Help for people in crisis areas
The war in Ukraine, the aftermath of the earthquake in Turkey and the devastating situation in the Gaza Strip are currently affecting thousands of innocent people. Countless injured people depend on medical technology devices. Together, Ottobock and the Ottobock Global Foundation are doing their utmost to expand the orthopaedic technology infrastructure in crisis areas and to provide as many disabled persons as possible with prostheses, orthoses and wheelchairs.
