Based in Kolkata, India, Krypton Industries Limited boasts a longstanding track record in manufacturing top-quality wheelchairs and mobility aids. Free Wheelchair Mission estimates that this second factory will produce over 12,000 units annually of the trailblazing GEN_2 and GEN_3 wheelchair models.
“Following a comprehensive selection process, we chose Krypton for their industry expertise and proven ability to meet our rigorous quality standards while maintaining affordable production costs,” Free Wheelchair Mission CEO Nuka Solomon said. “This additional partnership allows us to enhance our production capacity, ensuring a reliable supply of wheelchairs for those in need globally.”
An estimated 75 million individuals worldwide are in dire need of a wheelchair. Free Wheelchair Mission remains steadfast in its long-term vision to ensure that anyone needing a wheelchair has one. Establishing this second manufacturing facility ensures a consistent supply chain for its wheelchairs and offers potential for expansion in future wheelchair distribution.
“We are proud to partner with Free Wheelchair Mission in being a part of their wonderful and important mission,” said Jay Bardia, Managing Director of Krypton. “Leveraging our extensive experience in wheelchair manufacturing and their innovative wheelchair designs, we look forward to helping them transform thousands of lives.”
Free Wheelchair Mission formally entered an agreement with Krypton in January 2022, and they expect the first container of wheelchairs to start shipping by June 30, 2023.
