What Bischoff & Bischoff does

Bischoff & Bischoff Medizin- & Rehabilitationstechnik GmbH (B+B) is a privately-held German manufacturer of medical mobility and rehabilitation equipment headquartered in Karlsbad, Germany. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes manual wheelchairs (standard, lightweight, adaptive, and multi-functional lines including the Pyro, S-Eco, Protego, and Triton families), electric wheelchairs (EJOY variants and the folding VIA), rollators/walking aids (Alevo Alu, Alevo X, Beliva, plus the FALTBOX accessory), and electric mobility scooters (CENTURO). Products carry German HMV (Hilfsmittelverzeichnis) registrations that make them eligible for reimbursement through statutory health insurance, and the portfolio includes special-size variants — XL/XXL bariatric wheelchairs up to 250 kg load capacity and SL variants for users up to 2.10 m tall — that address underserved mobility-aid prescriptions.

B+B operates a strictly B2B go-to-market: all sales are routed through approved specialist medical equipment dealers (Fachhandel) in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with orders placed through a dedicated dealer webshop (shop.bischoff-bischoff.com). Pricing is per-unit trade pricing in EUR (e.g., S-Eco 300 at EUR 869; Pyro Light XL at EUR 1,310; Protego at EUR 2,588; Protego SL at EUR 3,721), with VAT excluded and tiered shipping terms (free delivery in Germany above EUR 250; Austria above EUR 1,500). The company is managed by Thomas Bischoff as Geschäftsführer, employs 51–100 people, and has struck two notable commercial alliances — a design partnership with Porsche Design Studio for the Alevo Alu premium rollator, and a co-brand with KETTLER for the BELIVA lightweight rollator. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the business carries no outside investors.

Product overview

Bischoff & Bischoff (B+B) is a German medical and rehabilitation technology company offering a broad portfolio of mobility and assistive devices. The product range spans four main categories: manual wheelchairs (including standard, lightweight, adaptive, and multi-functional models), electric wheelchairs, rollators (walking aids), and electric scooters (electro-mobiles), supplemented by daily living aids. The wheelchair portfolio is organized into product families — the Pyro Series (lightweight compatible models including Pyro Start, Pyro Start Plus, Pyro Light, and Pyro Light Optima), the S-Eco Series (standard wheelchairs), and the Protego/Triton multi-functional series — with additional special-size XL and XXL variants for higher weight capacities and taller users. Rollator offerings range from the premium Porsche Design ALEVO ALU to the standard ALEVO X and lightweight BELIVA by KETTLER. Electric mobility is served through the EJOY electric wheelchair series (RD/MD/FD variants) and the VIA folding electric wheelchair, alongside the CENTURO electric scooter line. All products are sold primarily through a B2B trade partner network with a dedicated webshop for specialist dealers.
