About Us
“In the 90s I decided to take on this entrepreneurial challenge thanks to the advent of new technologies and solutions for orthopedics.
The idea that quality products with innovative design, in the hands of professionals, could improve people’s quality of life, led me to believe in this project.
The goal of Permedica is to restore movement with an active lifestyle, helping to draw a better future for patients.”
