A leading brand.
Commencing in 1990, Spex Seating has many years of experience in the design and manufacturing of wheelchair seating and positioning equipment. Our progressive technologies and developments provide comfort and positioning for people who use a wheelchair. Our mission is to improve and benefit the lives of these people. We are enthusiastic and passionate about getting professional results for professional people.
Through the years of our experience and acquaintance with implementing specialised wheelchair seating for complex and challenging disabilities, we have established our Spex brand to become a leading and unrivalled modular off-the-shelf seating choice.
