Oliver Jakobi, CEO of Ottobock SE & Co. KGaA: “Our success in the first half of 2025 once again underlines that Ottobock is on a growth path, based on our innovation strength. We continue to invest in future technologies – from intelligent prosthetics and neurotechnological interfaces to exoskeletons. Our innovation pipeline is well filled, and, together with leading research partners, we are developing solutions that are redefining our market. Innovation will remain our key growth driver.” Dr. Arne Kreitz, CFO of Ottobock SE & Co. KGaA: “Ottobock is thriving and in excellent financial health. We have continued the dynamic, innovation-driven growth of recent years with significant increases in revenue and margin. This makes us very confident for the second half of the year and thus also for achieving our full-year targets.” In the first half of 2025, Ottobock launched four strategic key products – including the new Speedhand Solution in prosthetics, the next generation of the Exopulse Suit, and the active exoskeleton Volton. A strong R&D ratio in the product and component business, as well as strategic investments in start-ups like Phantom Neuro, BionicSkins, and Musclemetrix LLC, further supports innovation and the development of pioneering technologies. The field of human-machine interfaces, as a basis for the neural control of prostheses and orthoses, is also gaining importance.     Contact Media: Merle Florstedt
