Karma Medical's History

Karma Medical was founded by Kenny Chen in 1987 after he witnessed a woman struggling with a cumbersome wheelchair in Taipei. Moved by the incident, Chen, equipped with a background in industrial engineering, launched Karma to create more user-friendly wheelchairs. His dedication to innovation has led to numerous patents and expanded Karma into a global brand across 40 countries. Chen's vision was fuelled by a commitment to enhance mobility with compassion, striving to improve lives worldwide.

 

Karma Medical's Mission

Through depth understandings of users’ needs, and following KARMA FIT, develop assistive products to facilitate the caregiving process and bring independence to users and their families allowing them to achieve a life of possibilities.

Karma Medical's Name

While in New Zealand, the word Karma may have different meanings for different people, however Karma have named their business following their Taiwanese beliefs:

"We named ourselves Karma because we want to bring positive energy into the lives of all Karma wheelchair users. We understand that losing mobility is a scary life challenge, but as long as we strive and spread positive energy, we will overcome our challenges. We believe hard work and a positive attitude will bring good things."
