Cobi Rehab

What Cobi Rehab does

Cobi Rehab is a Danish private limited company headquartered in Karlslunde that develops and delivers specialized assistive devices and positioning solutions for citizens with complex care needs. Its core portfolio centers on bariatric equipment (wheelchairs, shower/toilet chairs, beds, walking aids, mattresses, and cushions) engineered for users up to 250-500 kg, alongside positioning solutions for dementia, geriatric, neurological, and palliative care. The technical foundation rests on in-house mechanical and materials engineering, including the proprietary Kamille asymmetric adjustment system (three aluminum plates enabling independent back/seat accommodation of scoliosis and asymmetric tissue), the Careturner automatic repositioning system (reducing manual transfers by up to 87%), and pressure-relieving cushion systems combining Krøyer balls with viscoelastic foam. Products are developed by Cobi Rehab's own engineers and product managers in collaboration with Danish physiotherapists and occupational therapists, and are quality-inspected internally prior to distribution.

The company operates a sales-led, consultant-driven go-to-market model, with 8 clinically-trained field consultants (4 in Denmark, 4 in Sweden) advising municipalities, therapists, and care staff on product selection, fitting, training, and on-site demonstrations. Distribution combines direct field sales, authorized resellers, and listing on the Danish HMI-basen assistive equipment database — the primary procurement channel for Danish municipal buyers. Pricing is contact-based with no public price list, consistent with multi-year institutional contracts. Revenue is generated exclusively through hardware sales to Danish municipalities (primary), hospitals, care homes, and private individuals. The company holds an exclusive dealership for SPEX positioning products in Denmark and Sweden, and has begun expanding geographic reach through German and English websites and a distribution partnership in New Zealand via Cubro. Cobi Rehab is a privately held company with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or external funding.
