«People notice when the blonde walks in», jokes Sandra Laube. «Over the last four years, I've been through hell. But as destroyed as I am, I have to move on now», she sums up.

It means freedom, quality of life, independence and flexibility. Driving opens up new perspectives, both professionally and privately.

A great honour for Orthotec: Switzerland's national communication agency has chosen our OT FOXX racing wheelchair as a prime example of Swiss innovative strength.

Together with the Sauber Group and other Swiss technology partners, Orthotec has developed the OT FOXX racing wheelchairs. Elite athletes Marcel Hug and Patricia Eachus were the first to use them.

Switzerland's first mountain guide has been in a wheelchair since an accident. After almost 30 years, Nicole Niquille has returned to the summit of a four-thousander thanks to the muscle strength of experienced alpinists and a special Orthotec sledge.

«I learnt how to make usable aids out of scrap and the few materials I’d brought with me.»  – Antje Giger

Marcel Hug pulls away from everyone else in his new Orthotec OT FOXX racing wheelchair. He is in top form and, after winning four gold medals at the Paralympics in Tokyo, continues to break new world and distance records. Wow!

«The best possible starting point you can have as an athlete is to be in the best possible piece of equipment. Wheelchair racing is such a huge part of my life, of my career. To have that attention to detail, that much investment and level of commitment from the team makes all the difference.»

«I believe that wheelchair racing is prestigious. You need people to be convinced by it and athletes to really believe in it. And that's how it takes off.»
