Otto Bock Healthcare PLC

Osso Bock Healthcare PLC

Company Name: Otto Bock Healthcare Plc

Founded:

In 1919, an orthopaedic technician named Otto Bock began what turned into a singular success story. In Berlin, he founded a company that would supply thousands of war victims with prosthetic and orthotic devices. The large demand for these devices challenged the founder to speed up the traditional artisan production methods. With the serial production of prosthetic components, Otto Bock has revolutionised orthopaedics.

Otto Bock has grown to become a world leader in its field. Continuing research and development ensure new products and the latest technology are utilised, backed up by a quality assurance system approved by the International Standard ISO 9001. Otto Bock has been established in the United Kingdom for over 25 years with a professional and knowledgeable product sales, service and support team providing service excellence to our many customers and our clinical service division continues to expand, delivering clinical and service excellence to the UK from our specialised British team.
