Unwin, an Autoadapt company, pioneers the manufacture of world-leading wheelchair restraints and occupant safety solutions. T ... he company has been at the forefront of developments to improve safety for wheelchair-users, and of designing innovative systems to increase the strength of vehicles, for more than 60 years. Unwin flooring systems include the popular Innotrax. Our staff have cutting-edge technical expertise and an in-depth knowledge of the legal requirements which our customers need to meet. The Unwin Dynamic Laboratory - our own in-house crash-test facility - is an invaluable aid to developing our own products, and helping customers to succeed with theirs. Unwin is the UK market leader, and exports across the world. The company is owned by Autoadapt. Catering to the consumer side of vehicle adaptation, Autoadapt has long been one of the world’s leading suppliers. With the introduction of BraunAbility Wheelchair Lifts in 2011 and the acquisition of Unwin Safety Systems, the company has strategically expanded its targets to include the markets of public transport and commercial vehicles – markets which Autoadapt’s Executive Vice President Peter Wahlsten expects to increase. “Changes in accessibility law are happening all over the world. Particularly in Europe, where for example France has a statutory requirement that by 2015 a high percentage of all city buses must be equipped with the means to transport people seated in wheelchairs. By finalising the acquisition of Unwin Safety Systems we stand well equipped to continue to take market shares in the commercial vehicles segment," says Peter Wahlsten. read more
