Golden Technologies

Golden Technologies is an American, family-owned and operated manufacturer of home medical equipment, best known as a maker of power lift recliners, mobility scooters, power wheelchairs and hi-lo adjustable beds. The company was founded in 1985 by Robert Golden Sr. and Fred Kiwak in Pittston, Pennsylvania, and began in a one-car garage with a simple guiding pledge: "Build it right the first time." That pledge is still displayed above the manufacturing floor at the company's facility in Old Forge, Pennsylvania, where Golden handcrafts its lift recliners and employs nearly 500 American workers. Golden positions itself as the world's leading manufacturer of power lift recliners and describes its lift chairs as "America's #1 brand." Its products are FDA Class II Medical Devices intended to assist persons with chronic physical disablements; Golden lift chairs enable a mobility-impaired individual to safely rise, sit or recline, and many models add features aimed at other impairments. The catalog spans lift recliners with patented positioning technology, portable mobility scooters such as the Buzzaround XL+ with MicroTurn Technology, foldable power wheelchairs, and the lightweight Golden Cricket LT Carbon scooter with a carbon fiber frame, 300 lb. weight capacity and airline-friendly battery. Ownership and leadership remain in the founding family. Robert Golden's son, Richard Golden, has served as CEO since 1991, while co-founder Fred Kiwak leads innovation as Vice President of Research and Development. Multiple generations of the family continue the business. Golden sells through a network of retailers and healthcare providers across the United States, Canada and beyond, and its products are used in homes, healthcare settings and retail showrooms. The brand emphasizes American-made craftsmanship, patented wellness technologies and durability. Its lift recliners use Northern maple hardwood frames, double-dowelled stress points and reinforced mitre blocks, and each chair undergoes a 40-point quality inspection before leaving the facility. Comfort and wellness features include Far Infrared Heat & Massage, Gel Memory Foam, footrest extensions, open-arm storage, zero gravity positioning with Twilight Tilt, and Nirvana Swedish Massage. The company culture is built around the Golden Rule, with community outreach under the #GoldenCares banner.

Golden remains a true family business, with multiple generations continuing the legacy. Over the decades Golden built its reputation on American-made craftsmanship and patented technologies. Its lift recliners are handcrafted by American workers at the Old Forge factory using domestic and imported materials, with the DeLuna Series designed by Golden and assembled by an offshore partner. The chairs feature Northern maple hardwood frames, double-dowelled stress points, reinforced mitre blocks, and patented positioning technology, and each undergoes a 40-point quality inspection before leaving the facility.
