Toronto, ON – July 2, 2025 – Motion (formerly Motion Specialties), Canada’s leading provider of comprehensive and customized mobility and home accessibility solutions, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to join forces with Numotion, the recognized leader in complex rehab and independence solutions. The transaction will unite two industry leaders, enhancing their collective ability to better serve individuals living with disabilities across North America.
“We are very excited to join Numotion, which brings proven scale and expertise to unlock new growth opportunities and continued innovation, while preserving the quality-of-care Canadians have come to rely on from Motion,” said Sue Gilpin, CEO of Motion. “We remain committed to delivering excellent client experience through community engagement and high-quality products and services that make life accessible for Canadians.”
