Riding in style, We started our final day of meeting with companies with getting this swanky coach bus to drive us to BraunAbility i’ve pent my last four years as a college football players and i know coach busses and this one ladies and gentlemen was in a league of all its own. They are a fantastic company with some of the nicest down to earth people I have ever met. Special thanks to Sarah from HR for sitting with us and explaining all of our questions and speaking better American English than we do!
BraunAbility is formerly known as Auto adapt, and still goes by that name as a distributor at there factor who does installation. They make really remarkable products with the goal of making independence for all their customers, they make mobile solutions for disabled customers. Thy make everything from simple steering wheel grips, to complete conversions with drop down floors for electric wheel chairs. They company makes These really amazing wheel chairs that when connected to the system in the car go straight into a normal car seat, it was really fascinating seeing the work on the back side from an engineering viewpoint.
I would like to give another thanks to BraunAbility for such the access to the company they gave us an all access pass to the company from almost every aspect, we learned about their lean manufactoring to an in-depth tour of their factory to seeing the installation on their products and seeing the real life application of their products. Seeing the real life vehicles being upfitted, it really blew me away actually seeing how seamlessly the company was able to adapt their seating for getting in and out of a vehicle and the controls they offer for any specific need a customer has, all the way down to the seat becoming a wheel chair and offering full mobility.
