About Rex Bionics

Rex Bionics (AIM: RXB) is an AIM-listed developer and manufacturer of REX products, hands-free robotic exoskeletons for use by people with mobility impairments. Founded in Auckland, New Zealand by two robotics engineers with first-hand experience of wheelchair users and their needs, Rex Bionics focuses on products designed to enable wheelchair users to stand and walk autonomously without the need for crutches or supports and is the only company to produce hands-free walking devices for wheelchair users. Rex Bionics' marketed products: REX Rehab and REX Personal, can be used by people with complete spinal cord injury, but also by a much broader potential customer base, including people with multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy. In May 2014, Rex Bionics joined AIM with a fundraising of £10 million (gross) to scale up production, distribution and marketing internationally, in order to support growing demand for both REX products as well as developing the next generation of REX devices, REX 3.
