Winston Score History

The full picture

Savaria Corporation makes equipment that helps people with limited mobility move around more easily. Its main products include stairlifts, wheelchair lifts, home elevators, and ceiling track lifts used in homes, hospitals, and care facilities. The company sells to elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and healthcare institutions, making it a significant player in the global accessibility equipment market.

Savaria earns money by selling and installing its products directly and through dealer networks, with some recurring revenue from service and maintenance contracts. It operates primarily in North America and Europe, and has grown largely through acquisitions, including the purchase of Handicare in 2021, which roughly doubled its size. The key growth driver is an aging global population that is expected to increase demand for accessibility products over the coming decades, though the company carries meaningful debt from its acquisition strategy, which could pressure finances if growth slows.
