About Arjo
At Arjo, we are committed to improving the everyday lives of people affected by reduced mobility and age-related health challenges. With products and solutions that ensure ergonomic patient handling, personal hygiene, disinfection, diagnostics, and the effective prevention of pressure injury and venous thromboembolism, we help professionals across care environments to continually raise the standard of safe and dignified care. Everything we do, we do with people in mind. Our operations are based on a genuine passion and extensive know-how in enabling care and improving the quality of life for people with reduced mobility and age-related health challenges, that has been built up over Arjo's 60-year history as a partner for the acute care and long-term care sector.
We were founded in 1957 by Swedish entrepreneur Arne Johansson, and the name Arjo was derived from the first two initials of his first and last name. Initially, we manufactured components and machine parts for other manufacturers, including medical devices. Arne Johansson was one of the first to understand the need for bathing and transfer equipment in healthcare and elderly care, as well as for improved ergonomics for healthcare professionals. He developed a series of innovative products to meet these needs in Sweden, and shortly thereafter, Arjo began selling its products internationally. Today, with over 6,500 employees worldwide, we continue to build on this legacy, working closely with healthcare professionals to understand their daily challenges and develop solutions that empower movement and drive healthier outcomes. Our commitment extends to fostering a positive and inclusive work environment, as recognized by our Great Place to Work certifications in various regions. We believe that by valuing our employees and promoting a culture of passion, collaboration, openness, excellence, and ownership, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and caregivers globally.
