History

R82 is a Danish company founded in 1982 by Erik Ernst, Flemming Møller and Lars Lykke, who with experience from the field saw the need for improved pediatric assistive devices. It was acquired by Etac in 2011. Etac itself was founded in 1973 as RFSU Rehab, later renamed Etac, driven by Sverker Göthberg's vision of providing a new range of assistive devices with innovation, functionality and design in mind. In 2011 Nordstjernan, a Swedish family-controlled, unlisted investment company, assumed full ownership of Etac, having already owned 60% of Etac since 2006.
