Over the last few years, Steeper Group has significantly expanded our business, enhancing our reputation as an expert in delivering patient care, a global supplier of upper limb prostheses, and a strategic distributor partner for world-recognised brands.

To continue our growth strategy and develop innovative products and services for the future, the business owners have sought a new partner who are aligned to our values of Care, Integrity and Patient Focus. We are very pleased to announce that on 8th March 2023 we have joined the Eqwal Group, who have agreed to acquire 100% of the shares in Steeper Group.  The Board are confident that this is an excellent choice for the long-term development of the Company and are excited about the opportunities this new relationship will bring. 

Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Toulouse, France, the Eqwal Group is a global prosthetics and orthotics patient care services provider, employing over 1700 people with clinics across Europe and the USA.  Eqwal is also a global leader in 3D printing solutions and CAD/CAM systems.  Joining Eqwal will provide the opportunity to enhance our UK clinical offering and deliver innovation across our product ranges and clinical services.  

The excellent relationships Steeper have forged with our NHS partners, customers and suppliers both in the UK and overseas remain of paramount importance, and being part of the Eqwal Group will bring clear benefits in sharing expertise and best practice across a global patient care network.
