Freedom Designs, Inc. has designed and manufactured specialized wheelchair frames, custom seating and positioning systems, hardware and accessories for over 25 years.

Its founder, Ginny Maloco, acquired a small company in Simi Valley, California, involved in the manufacturing of very basic cushions and seating/positioning products. Recognizing that there was a strong need in the rehabilitation market for specialized pediatric positioning products and wheelchairs, Freedom Designs began developing product offerings to meet those needs. New product development became a primary focus. In addition, many new and innovative customization options were made available which included a myriad of colors, upholsteries, and monogramming, allowing each product to be truly individualized for the user.

Freedom Designs, Inc. is proud of its many on-going industry contributions over the years. These include active involvement with seating/positioning and wheelchair code development for funding agencies, offering the first technical seminars for therapist/dealer training, design and manufacture of the first folding Tilt-In-Space wheelchair, as well as assuming a leadership role in wheelchair and transport crash testing of chairs.

In 2004, Freedom Designs was acquired by Invacare Corporation, a leader in the DME/rehab industry, as part of the Helixx Group. The Helixx Group consists of Altimate Medical, PinDot, Motion Concepts and Freedom Designs, all premium suppliers of comprehensive, specialized, mobility improvement solutions for the Rehab market. The partnership of these five organizations offers customers comprehensive solutions under one group while allowing for stronger, more diverse sales coverage and customer support.
