Covers the 2026 Stimulite ownership change and its REHACARE 2026 appearance. Not medical advice; consult a seating clinician for pressure-care decisions.
In brief
- Stimulite cushions changed owners in 2026; production moved from San Francisco to Kungälv, Sweden.
- The company now trades as Stimulite AB under CEO Charlotta Måhlin; the full product range is unchanged.
- Existing users should keep their model details and confirm dealer support and lead times.
What actually changed
According to the company's own history page, the lifestyle, mattress and wheelchair-cushion business of Supracor was acquired in 2026 by the company's largest customer, with production relocated to Sweden. The new company, Stimulite AB, is led by CEO Charlotta Måhlin from its Kungälv base near Gothenburg. The founders, Curt Landi and Susan Wilson, stepped away after more than three decades building the Stimulite name. The company presented the full product range under the new banner at REHACARE 2026 in Düsseldorf (Hall 6, stand A69) and says it is expanding its European dealer network.
What stays the same for cushion users
The reassuring part of the announcement is continuity: Stimulite AB says the complete product range is unchanged, so existing models, sizes and honeycomb-style cushion designs carry over under the new ownership. That means replacements and matching accessories should remain available through the dealer network rather than being redesigned or discontinued. Ownership changes of this kind most often affect distribution and support channels first, not the product on your chair — and here the company is explicitly signalling stability.
What to do if you use a Stimulite cushion
Keep a note of your exact cushion model and size; that is what a dealer needs to match a replacement. If you bought through a US supplier, ask where your nearest stockist is now that production and distribution are centred in Sweden, and confirm lead times before you urgently need a spare. On cushion choice generally: honeycomb, foam, gel and air cushions each suit different needs around pressure distribution, stability and maintenance, and the right choice depends on your body, your chair and your daily routine. For anything related to pressure care or skin protection, work with a seating clinician rather than relying on product marketing — this article is about the business change, not medical advice.
