About Arjo
Arjo was founded in 1957 by Swedish entrepreneur Arne Johansson and was given the name Arjo using the first two initials of the founder’s first and last name.
Arjo originally manufactured components and machine parts for other manufacturers, including medical devices. Arne Johansson was one of the first to understand the need for bathing and transfer equipment in healthcare and elderly care as well as for improved ergonomics for healthcare professionals.
At the end of the 1960s, Arjo expanded its products to Western Europe. The products were in high demand and Arjo quickly established several international sales companies, for example, in the UK, Germany, France, Belgium and the US.
In the 1980s, Arjo strengthened its position as a key player in the international market with the acquisitions of US company Century and UK company Mecanaids. The international expansion continued and Arjo soon became a global player in products and equipment for hygiene and patient handling.
A number of corporate acquisitions were implemented in the 2000s to continue to strengthen the hygiene and patient handling offering. For example, BHM Medical was acquired in 2004 which broadened Arjo’s range of patient lifts.
The significant acquisition of Huntleigh Technology PLC took place in 2007 after which the ArjoHuntleigh brand was established. The first ground-breaking product that Huntleigh launched was the Nimbus mattress system, which is still found in Arjo’s range.
Today, Arjo is a market-leading supplier of medical devices and solutions that improve quality of life for people with reduced mobility and age-related health challenges.
