Ortomix

What Ortomix does

Ortomix is a privately held Brazilian wheelchair manufacturer headquartered in Aparecida de Goiânia, Goiás, operating with 32 employees and serving customers exclusively in Brazil. The company specializes in wheelchairs and adjacent mobility/orthopedic products across four product lines: Linha Active (premium ultralight, carbon fiber, and sports wheelchairs), Linha Mix (versatile comfort and standard configurations for adults and children), Linha Power (motorized wheelchairs, elevators, and scooters), and Linha SUS (wheelchairs, orthoses, prostheses, crutches, walkers, and diabetic footwear for Brazil's public healthcare system). Core technology centers on lightweight materials engineering using aerospace-grade T6 aluminum, carbon fiber, and carbon steel, with proprietary manufacturing features including H7 precision-ground metal alloy bushings and a blind sealed piston for front-wheel control used in high-performance sports chairs. The Ultra Lite Carbon Gigantex flagship weighs 6.6 kg total and is marketed as among the lightest wheelchairs globally. Products are made-to-measure under medical prescription, supporting individualized fitting for pediatric, adult, bariatric, postural-support, and athletic users.

Ortomix's business model is one-time sale of physical mobility devices with quote-based pricing handled through a nationwide network of commercial representatives covering all 27 Brazilian states, supplemented by direct customer contact via telephone SAC, commercial email, website catalog browsing, and a Facebook presence. After-sales service is delivered through 20+ authorized technical assistance centers across multiple Brazilian states. Revenue streams are diversified across manual wheelchair sales, motorized wheelchair sales (Linha Power), accessories and spare parts, and custom/prescription wheelchairs, with the SUS line providing a dedicated institutional procurement channel. Customer segments include individuals with physical disabilities (primary), the SUS public healthcare system, para-athletes and sports enthusiasts, and patients requiring specialized postural support. The company appears to operate with no parent organization, no disclosed venture backing, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue, and maintains a 'NOSSAS PARCERIAS' section indicating unnamed component and material supplier relationships supporting its specialty manufacturing supply chain.
