MATTON ORTHOMEDI acquired by OTTOBOCK

In May 2025, Ottobock, through its subsidiary Vigo, acquired Matton OrthoMedi as part of its strategy to consolidate the European technical orthopedics market. The primary objective of this acquisition is to strengthen Ottobock's network of care centers in Western Europe by integrating a well-established local player in Belgium. Matton OrthoMedi brings a established network of locations in Ghent, Bruges, and Brussels, as well as over 30 years of expertise in orthopedic care and custom device manufacturing, catering to patients with complex mobility needs. As part of this integration, Matton OrthoMedi will retain its operational identity and continue to operate autonomously, while leveraging Ottobock's industrial, clinical, and organizational resources. The goal is to optimize patient care pathways by enhancing coordination between local facilities and the group's treatment standards. Strategically, this acquisition enables Ottobock to accelerate its presence in the consolidating European orthopedics market, where value is shifting towards integrated networks that can combine patient proximity, practice standardization, and skill sharing. This deal is part of a platform strategy, aiming to aggregate specialized local players to build a more integrated, efficient, and patient-centric European orthopedic care network. By expanding its footprint in the region, Ottobock is poised to capitalize on the trend towards integrated care delivery, where providers can offer comprehensive and coordinated services to patients, ultimately driving better outcomes and improved patient satisfaction.
