Richmond, Calif.-based Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc. has established a new regional headquarters for Europe in Freiburg, Germany to strengthen its European presence and German-speaking markets. The expansion is being led by Ruediger Hausherr, president of EMEA markets for the company, and marks an integral step in the company’s development of its Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) business.
“Establishing this Germany-based subsidiary will allow us to enhance our customer service with training, education, and field service support by being in closer proximity to our valued customers,” said Hausherr. “The Freiburg headquarters will also position Ekso to build strategic partnerships in the area.”
This new site further supports Ekso Bionics’ European operations by facilitating regional growth plans, establishing a dedicated sales and customer service organization to more closely liaise with leading rehabilitation centers in the region including existing customers such as Swiss Paraplegic Centre (SPC), Uppsala University Hospital, Sunnaas Hospital, BG Clinics and Schon Klinik Bad Aibling to name a few.
“We are excited to further expand our European business to meet a rise in demand for our advanced technology,” said Thomas Looby, president and chief commercial officer of Ekso Bionics. “I am pleased to see how Ruediger and the EMEA team have strengthened our business since he joined us in early October. Our presence in Western Europe is a strategic part of our market development and demonstrates our commitment to operational excellence.”
Ekso Bionics makes robotic exoskeletons, or wearable robots, to augment human strength, endurance and mobility.
