Our Mission:
Protecting Health and Well-Being at Work

Too many professionals suffer from pain caused by repetitive tasks or awkward postures. At Hapo, we have always believed that everyone deserves to work in conditions that respect their health and well-being.

This belief led to the creation of the first non-motorized Hapo exoskeleton in 2016 and continues to drive our innovations today. Rather than designing heavy, complex, and often costly motorized devices, we chose an eco-friendly, human-centered approach.

Our passive, non-motorized exoskeletons are designed to be effective, durable, easy to use, and—most importantly—welcomed by those who wear them. For nearly a decade, we have been developing devices that support hundreds of professionals in their daily work, and we continue to innovate to meet the evolving needs of our users.

Innovative Technology
for a Better User Experience

Hapo’s Research & Development center has developed advanced materials with mechanical properties that provide adaptable elastic resistance.

Our Goal: To deliver exoskeletons that are more efficient, more comfortable, more reliable, and more accessible.

Unmatched Efficiency and Comfort

Our spring system combines lightweight design with high energy storage and release capacity.
