Munsey, who founded Ki Mobility with Murray Slagerman in 2005, will now head “a dedicated mobility organization for sales and customer service of our
Ki Mobility, Convaid, R82, and Star products in North America.”
Wirzberger said, “Our vision is to become a global leader within Complex Manual Rehab Technology and patient handling, and the acquisition of Ki Mobility is an important step in that direction.”
“We are very pleased to be joining the Etac family,” Munsey said. “We have a common passion for creating possibilities for individuals in need of Complex Rehab Technology, and I look forward to continuing the development of Ki Mobility products within Etac and to combine and leverage our strengths in Etac’s new North American mobility organization.”
