Background of Orthostand

Podox wurde 2021 in den Niederlanden gegründet, als Gert, ein befreundeter Sport-Pedorthist, nach einer besseren Lösung für seine Arbeit suchte. Er behandelte 5-8 Kunden pro Tag, während sein Rücken und seine Knie jeden Tag ein bisschen mehr protestierten.

Gert asked me, as I was at that time the MD of Markant, where we improve the working conditions for office workers. My name is Jan Beltman.

The market for Orthopaedic lifts is a niche market with a very limited international volume. Orthostand is the brand name for the Western paramedical market. Aside this, Podox is the brand name for the similar lift for sport- and shoe retail markets and may be marketed completely separately from the para-medical market.
