About us

We have set ourselves the goal of providing people in wheelchairs with quality of life. We therefore see our wheelchairs not only as a vehicle, but as an intuitive extension of the body – for everyday use and leisure.

André Degonda, the founder of our company, did pioneering technical work and designed and developed the Twist model - the versatile all-rounder for indoors and outdoors, which serves as the basis for further models. Today's wheelchair impresses with its high manoeuvrability and very compact dimensions. At the same time, the human being is always the centre of attention. The centre of gravity of our power wheelchairs has been shifted over the rear axle and the seat surfaces and backrest have been perfectly integrated. The Twist, with or without integrated seat lift, thus became a manoeuvrable power wheelchair suitable for everyday use with excellent drive, which also shows its qualities outdoors or when overcoming obstacles.

As part of a reorganisation, we moved larger parts of our warehouse, production and assembly to shared premises in Thun in the course of 2020. This step will enable us to concentrate even better on quality assurance, the support of our market partners and customers, and the further development of our products. Among other things, WAG is active in fine metal processing and component assembly and has been a reliable supplier for many years. Cooperation with WAG opens up new opportunities and enables welcome synergies.

The Wohn- und Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Körperbehinderte Gwatt - known as WAG for short - is a foundation based in Gwatt near Thun and offers physically disabled adults a form of housing as well as work opportunities. The WAG workshop is a recognised company for industrially manufactured mechanical components. Employees with disabilities have been working on the production, assembly and repair of Degonda power wheelchairs since January 2020.
