People first
Mobility for people
For 100 years, people have come first in everything we do. We work hard every day to improve the quality of life of our patients and users, and to enable them to live independent daily lives.
For us, quality of life is closely linked to personal freedom and independence. That’s why we help people maintain or regain their freedom of movement. To achieve this goal now and in the future, we focus on innovation and outstanding technology, combined with a holistic approach and global activities. We try to see the world through the eyes of our users and customers, and we pursue this aim with respect, courage and commitment.
Otto BockPut yourself in other people’s shoes. What is life for customers, users, suppliers, employees? How do they tick? What do they want? Then serve them with a smile. And without reservations.
This is what drives us
Human, reliable, inventive, smart – these are Ottobock’s company values. They form the basis of our day-to-day work in the company. Our values drive us.
We are human
Our purpose lies in human empowerment. That means putting people and emotional connections at the heart of everything we do, and becoming a partner that helps people live the lives they want. For our professional O&P customers, it means connecting users with our products and support their need to overcome mobility challenges and regain confidence and independence.
Close to people – close to life
Personal relationships: In our interactions, we treat the people who use our products as partners. We’re in contact with them every day so we can learn about their concerns, needs and interests. This creates a basis of mutual trust, which is essential for the time we share during treatment.
The joy of helping: We help people with limited mobility and want to encourage them and boost their self-confidence. We appreciate individual diversity and see limited mobility as a challenge to overcome barriers.
Honest stories: Authenticity is essential to us. That’s why we let people speak for us – they openly share their experiences with our products and services.
Commitment to society and sports: Our involvement in society extends from the Paralympic Games to regional projects, to advancing orthopaedic technology. Our goal is to put people with disabilities in the centre of society, dismantle fears and misconceptions and break down barriers.
We are inventive
We live in a connected age, surrounded by technological breakthroughs and cultural revolutions.
At Ottobock, the core value of "inventive" is the driving force behind our innovation and creativity. We are not content with the status quo; we are committed to creating innovative solutions that transform lives, advance our industry, and contribute to a brighter, more exciting future. Social media has given us the power to share uniquely personal and truly inspiring content around the globe.
We are reliable
Ottobock had been sharing powerful human stories. Each one of those them has its own unique spark: taking that first step, running again at last, or giving the first real hug in years. Every one of those moments was made possible by a century of consistency and commitment to excellence.
We are not just reliable in our products and services; we are reliable in our dedication to improving lives. We’re always there to assist our patients and partners. Together we are working to develop solutions and strategies which help people to master the complex challenges of everyday life and prepare them for the future.
Quality management
Our quality management standards meet the highest requirements. Specific test methods show that our long-lasting products offer quantifiable advantages.
We are smart
In a connected world where patients, users and customers interact with brands digitally, it is crucial to build experiences which are consistent and true to the user’s needs and expectations.
We understand that intelligence is not just about technology but also about adaptability, empathy, and understanding. That’s why we synchronize our products, services and key messages in a holistic ecosystem where every single element works together seamlessly to elevate the lives of individuals.
