What Bergh Special Products does

Bergh Special Products (BSP), founded in 1999 and headquartered in 's-Heerenberg, Netherlands, is a manufacturer and direct e-commerce retailer of custom and standard wheelchair accessories, with two core product lines: polycarbonate wheelchair spoke guards (wheel covers) and custom wheelchair trays/worktables. The company's spoke guards are manufactured from premium polycarbonate using UV ink printing technology, producing durable, fade-resistant designs that the company claims outperform PET and foam alternatives on temperature resistance and longevity. A proprietary online customizer tool enables customers to either upload personal imagery or select from a library of over 1,000 designs, supplemented by officially licensed collections with nijntje (Miffy), The British Museum, and van Hoorne. The firm reports annual production of more than 10,000 spoke guards from its Dutch facility.

BSP operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce (bspshop.com, Shopify-powered) with B2B wholesale and OEM supply. The B2C channel addresses individual wheelchair users seeking personalization, sold as one-time hardware purchases with example pricing of approximately $199 per custom spoke guard set and a standard 10 working-day lead time. The B2B channel serves dealers, resellers, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and wheelchair OEMs — notably Ottobock, Invacare, Sunrise Medical, SORG, van Raam, Ki Mobility, Panthera, Vigo, Wolturnus, Special Mobility, Veldink4kids, and Decon — positioning BSP as an embedded accessory supplier in the medical equipment supply chain. Pricing across channels follows unit-based models with volume discounts for institutional buyers and multi-year wholesale contracts.

The company is privately held and founder-operated, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity backing, or revenue figures in the source data. The product portfolio has expanded from spoke guards into complementary categories including wheelchair trays, spare parts (wheels, brakes, axles, tires, belts, hubs), broader accessories, hospital and rehabilitation supplies, and complete manual, sport, and electric wheelchairs. All products are REACH-certified for EU safety and environmental compliance, and the firm maintains a brand ambassador program alongside organic social and content marketing channels. A notable 2025 partnership with esports tournament operator StarLadder (Budapest Major 2025) indicates attempts to extend the brand into gaming and accessibility-at-events contexts.
