“This acquisition will enable us to broaden and deepen our product portfolio with a world-class product line that can now scale using Journey’s robust marketing, sales, and distribution channels. Ultimately, the two companies together allow us to positively impact more consumers’ lives and bring more value to our retail partners.”
UPWalker® is the only clinically tested, ISO-certified safe, and FDA registered upright walker with a patented balance center of gravity design to provide users with a significant safety advantage over other upright walkers. The UPWalker® Lite and UPWalker® Premium Lite models are also among the lightest upright walkers on the market. The unique UPWalker® design enables users to walk upright in a safer, more secure posture – allowing them to walk farther with less effort and greater confidence.
LifeWalker expands the growing Journey portfolio of branded products by adding the leading upright walker in the healthcare market. The complete line of UPWalker® products can be purchased online, as well as through healthcare providers and distributors throughout the United States, including the Veterans Health Administration.
This acquisition continues the growth of the Journey Health & Lifestyle platform, initially formed in May 2021, concurrent with the acquisition of FirstStreet. Journey, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, develops and distributes direct-to-consumer, premium mobility, sleep, comfort, and safety products and services for senior consumers. The company’s products provide customers an enhanced quality of life and enable them to continue safely, independently, and gracefully on their “journey” in life.
