REBOTEC Rehabilitation Aids

What REBOTEC Rehabilitation Aids does

REBOTEC Rehabilitationsmittel GmbH is a German family-owned manufacturer of rehabilitation and mobility aids, founded in 1993 by Reiner Bockstiegel in Quakenbrück, Lower Saxony, and since 2008 led by the second generation, Markus and Thomas Bockstiegel. The company designs, produces, and distributes plastic-based shower and toilet chairs, patient and standing hoists (up to 250 kg), crutches, walking aids, rollators, and hemiplegia supports under brands including Phoenix, YANO, Comfort-Line, and DUBAI. Manufacturing is fully in-house at the Artlandstrasse headquarters, integrating plastic injection moulding, CNC toolmaking, and assembly across approximately 9,000 m² of production area within a 22,000 sqm site.

Core technology centres on proprietary plastic injection moulding with in-house toolmaking for rehabilitation hardware, including patented products such as the YANO arthritis-specific crutch. REBOTEC is also engaged in an EU-funded (ESF+/EFRE) R&D project applying AI-supported FEM topology simulation to design a modular patient lifter for varied weight classes, though this remains in development rather than commercial deployment.

The business model is B2B hardware sales with quote-based price lists valid for four months, 30-day payment terms (2% discount within 10 days), and ex-works export terms. Go-to-market combines a regional German field-sales force (Außendienst) covering Nord-Ost, Nord-West, and Süd/Süd-West postal code territories with an exclusive international distributor network operating in 40+ countries (Rebotec Australia, Rebotec UK, Rebotec Nederland, Rebotec North America, Rebotec Türkiye, Медтехника Реботек Russia, etc.). In Germany, REBOTEC is integrated into the major medical-supply purchasing cooperatives — Egroh (850+ members), Ortheg, rehaVital (115+ members, 500+ locations), and Nowecor (200+ members, 650 locations) — which supply Sanitätshäuser (medical supply retailers), orthopaedic workshops, nursing homes, and hospitals.
