“Working with igus on our accessible pushchair project really made a difference. They didn't just sell us products, they listened to us, helped us find the right solutions in their catalogue, and more than once suggested something better than what we had in mind. But honestly, what mattered most was that they came to visit us in person several times to go through the prototypes together. These days it's rare to find a partner willing to work side by side like that, and for us it was invaluable.”
