After years of design, research and development,
5 prototype chairs were built in 2004.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Metalform needed a distribution partner to realise the dream.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In 2006, Metalform attended a trade-show in Germany\u00a0<\/span>with the intention of finding a suitable distribution partner\u00a0<\/span>with similar\u00a0 company values,\u00a0 standards and someone who\u00a0<\/span>had strong market experience.<\/p>\n

The response Metalform received during the exhibition was overwhelming. Metalform come away with over 10 potential distribution partners.<\/p>\n

Metalform selected Permobil AB (of Sweden) – who are one of the largest electric wheelchair manufacturers in the world – to be the world-wide distributor.\u00a0 Metalform\u2019s R&D team re-designed it to use Permobil\u2019s standard electronics and modular accessory range. The new design, called the K450, was also designed to comply with all wheelchair standards world-wide.<\/p>\n

Now tens of thousands of the K450 are sold worldwide giving independence to those who require it most.<\/p>\n
