Handicare announced its decision to establish a local stairlift production site in the United States. The new production site will allow Handicare to shorten lead times significantly, which will increase Handicare's competitive advantage. The required capital expenditure amounts to approximately EUR 2.5 million. Aiming to build on its already strong growth trajectory in North America, Handicare has decided to establish a local stairlift production site in the United States. The curved lift production is based in the Netherlands and United Kingdom, with the stairlifts primarily shipped by air. With a new production site, key geographies in the region can be reached within one to four days and with a competitive cost structure. Shortened lead times will significantly increase Handicare's competitive advantage and is a key enabler for growth. The site will be in full production within twelve months.
