Otto Bock HealthCare GmbH, Duderstadt, Germany, will be hosting a 50th anniversary celebration of its incorporation in the United States on Friday, September 12, at the American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA) National Assembly in Chicago, Illinois. The celebration will be held in the Hyatt Regency Chicago Crystal Ballroom, from 6-7:30 p.m. Appetizers will be served, and local percussion band Savage Aural Hotbed will play what Otto Bock dubs "live 'prosthetic' music."
President and CEO, Bert Harman, stated in a press release, "We have remained true to the vision and tradition Otto Bock expressed in 1919 and which Max Näder brought with him to America. 'Quality for Life' isn't an empty slogan to us, and we continue to measure our success by how well we serve the people who ultimately use our products."
Otto Bock HealthCare was founded in Germany in 1919; it was incorprated in the United States in 1958.
