Handicare transitions new brand as it aligns European business with North American parent company
With a growing product portfolio of not just stairlifts, but platform lifts and homelifts too, accessibility manufacturer Handicare is starting the brand transition to Savaria.
In a move that will further align the European business with its North American parent company, the brand evolution will be gradual and started with a legal entity name change earlier this year.
The natural progression follows the introduction of more Savaria products into the accessibility giant’s portfolio in Europe.
The Savaria Multilift platform lift and Savaria Luma homelift were both brought to market last year, with more product launches in store throughout 2026.
A spokesperson for the firm commented that the company’s established product brands will remain the same: “Customers will continue to receive Handicare stairlifts and Garaventa Lift platform lifts, supported by the same trusted teams and offering the same reliable service, maintaining continuity for partners and customers.
“The difference will be in the expansion of global expertise and innovation coupled with in-depth knowledge of local markets.”
Handicare is a global provider of straight, curved and outdoor stairlifts and has been providing mobility solutions since 1886. It was acquired by Savaria Corporation in 2021, following Savaria’s acquisition of Garaventa Lift, which provides custom-made platform lifts for mobility and accessibility in homes and public locations, in 2018.
