Permobil has announced that they will be establishing a brand new 120000 sq ft facility in the US – 80000 of this will be dedicated to manufacturing.
This comes at a time where National Competitive Bidding, Medicare cuts and China outsourcing are the norm for several wheelchair manufacturers.
Lebanon, TN (October 20, 2009) — Permobil, Inc., an international company that is the world’s leading manufacturer of custom-made powered wheelchairs, will build its new $12 million North American Operations Center in Lebanon on a 17-acre site located in Park 840. The project is the largest, single capital investment that Permobil has ever made since it was established more than 40 years ago. Permobil’s new 120,000 square foot building will be the company’s second largest and most technically-advanced manufacturing facility. It will include over 80,000 square feet of manufacturing space and nearly 40,000 square feet of corporate office space. Construction of the new building will begin in late October 2009 and is slated for completion in summer 2010.
