March 2023 marked another significant milestone for Steeper as the business was acquired by
Eqwal Group, a global prosthetics and orthotics patient care services provider, who, at the time, employed over 1,700 people with clinics across Europe and the USA. Since then, the Eqwal Group has continued to grow around the world, now employing over 3,000 dedicated team members, and building a strong portfolio of world-leading brands in the industry such as
TASKA and
Qwadra. To ensure the group message remains strong, align the different brands, and unify our global presence, all companies under the Eqwal Group will be changing our logos to include a "by Eqwal" strapline.
Our previous strapline, “Creating life's turning points, together,” will be retired. In its place, we will embrace the Eqwal mission of “caring for all.” This subtle yet significant shift aligns with our core value of care and strengthens our brand identity within the Eqwal Group. Our new mission remains centred on empowering patients and has been adapted to read: With a commitment to caring for all, our mission is to empower patients, customers and our people, worldwide, by delivering world-leading technologies and products, alongside responsive clinical services, across the fields of prosthetics, orthotics and accessible technology – fundamentally enhancing people’s lives with innovation, compassion, and integrity.
