Jean-Pierre Mahé, CEO of Eqwal said: “Incontestably, Spinal Technology is the American leader in custom-made orthopedic spinal devices. Today, its reputation extends well beyond American borders. This success is partly attributed to Spinal Technology's unique positioning in its market. Indeed, Spinal Technology has not merely been a remarkable manufacturing hub but has also integrated itself into the patient care journey by cultivating close partnership relationships with its customers. This distinctive and disruptive approach, aimed at achieving excellence for the patient, has naturally led us to consider Spinal Technology as an essential part of the great Eqwal's project in the United States and on a global scale. I am delighted and proud to welcome Spinal Technology's teams into Eqwal. I am convinced that Spinal Technology will contribute to Eqwal's growth just as much as Eqwal will contribute to the growth of Spinal Technology. “
