Proteor

What Proteor does

Proteor (PROTEOR FRANCE) is a France-headquartered, privately held orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) company founded in 1913 and operating across more than 60 orthopedic centers in at least eight countries, including France, the United States, Germany, China, Japan, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, and Morocco. Its product portfolio spans scoliosis bracing, amputation prosthetics, plagiocephaly helmets, trauma orthoses, knee osteoarthritis supports, and equipment for multiple disabilities, sold through company-operated clinics, a DTC e-commerce storefront (shop-emear.proteor.com), and healthcare-provider partnerships.

The company's core technology is proprietary 3D-printed prosthetic manufacturing, centralized in its Digital Solutions platform (digitalsuite-en.proteor.com) for 3D scanning and printing. In April 2025 Proteor launched the first-ever non-vase mode definitive socket via 3D printing, and in February 2025 it acquired Filament Innovations to internalize filament-based additive manufacturing capacity for next-generation O&P production. These moves position 3D printing as the company's principal cost and lead-time differentiator over traditional prosthetic fabrication.

Proteor generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of prosthetic devices, components, and orthopedic equipment, with additional professional-services revenue from digital and 3D printing solutions. End-customers are individual amputees and orthotic patients served through the clinic and e-commerce channels, with reimbursement support from insurers and health programs in Belgium and the Netherlands. The company is institutionally backed by Ardian (2021) and a 2025 follow-on consortium of BNP Paribas Développement, Bpifrance, Crédit Mutuel Equity, and Eurazeo.
