Evac+Chair International Ltd is a world-class company engaged in the design, development and manufacture of a range of innovative products and services providing mobility impairment and transportation solutions.
Emergency Transport solution for Mobility-Impaired Individuals
Foremost amongst its products is the Evac+Chair which allows one person to transport a mobility-impaired individual on the flat or down stairs quickly and safely in time of emergency without the need for lifting or great physical strength.
Evac+Chair International Ltd has been manufacturing in Birmingham since 1985. Since that time the company has experienced a continual expansion, both nationally and internationally. The framework of this success is based upon a unique approach to business and marketing and manufacturing; sound quality management system (BS EN ISO 9001:2000), continuous improvement programmes, Benchmarking and Investors In People. This is coupled with a philosophy of local development for home and international markets.
Turnkey Evacuation Chair Solution
Few companies go from raw materials, through the processing and assembly, to sales and marketing, after sales service, and customer training. A continuous and dynamic process that does not end with sales, or service, or training, but feeds back to enable us to be responsive to customer needs.
The company offers a total 'turnkey' solution from site surveys and the manufacture and supply of the evacuation chair through to training and servicing.
