Sunrise Medical has acquired two companies in Europe.

In a Sept. 8 announcement, the manufacturer said it’s completed its acquisitions of The Helping Hand Company, based in the United Kingdom, and Now Tech, based in Hungary.

Sunrise described The Helping Hand Company as “a reputed British company specializing in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of pressure management seating and positioning products, Symmetrikit 24-hour postural care range, independent living, and environmental products.”

Sunrise said adding The Helping Hand Company “extends the product portfolio, especially in the seating and pediatrics area, to offer more comprehensive 24-hour postural care products to satisfy the well-diversified customer demand.”

Now Tech, a tech startup, brings “a strong digital, software, and electronic engineering team, bringing highly desired technical skills and more than 10 years of industry-specific knowledge and expertise. Its latest innovation, the special head control product Gyroset Vigo, has already been well received by the market and will become part of Sunrise Medical’s SWITCH-IT power wheelchair special control product offering.
