ELYRIA, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Invacare Corporation (NYSE: IVC) is pleased to introduce its new global website at www.invacare.com. This new website captures the essence of Invacare today, including the breadth of product offerings and the impact these products have on people’s lives around the globe.
“It was only 30 years ago when Invacare had limited product lines of standard wheelchairs and patient aids, net sales of $19.5 million, 350 associates and had three plants in the United States,” said Lou Slangen, senior vice president, global market development. “Now the Company has expanded into a full line of home and non-acute care medical products with $1.7 billion in sales, employment of 5,900 associates and manufacturing in 30 facilities worldwide. A company’s website is its primary face to the outside world, so it is important that our website captures the Invacare of today.”
The new www.invacare.com will be a global gateway for the Company. It features a clean look, easy navigation and lifestyle photography that captures the “Yes, you can.®” philosophy that consumers experience using Invacare® products. The website will showcase Invacare’s corporate presence – about us, investor relations, career center and general product information. The site also will link to Invacare’s global family of websites – the divisions and subsidiaries.
Invacare partnered with Bridge Worldwide, a leading digital and relationship marketing agency based in Cincinnati, Ohio, to develop the new website. The site formerly found at www.invacare.com is now located at www.invacare.com/homecare. It is also located within the Invacare Worldwide section of the new global gateway.
