Pioneer

Escape Mobility Company has been in the business since 1987. The journey was started by the Managing Director, Herman Van Leeuwen. He introduced the products to evacuate people from the buildings in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. A handicapped person or a person with issues in the body can easily seat in the Spencer chair and he/she can be transported down to the staircase. Till that date, such kind of evacuation method was not introduced by anyone in those particular countries. At the time of the demonstration, many people got interested in this product. At that time the company name was 'Handelsmaatschappij H. van Leeuwen' and after that, the company name was changed to 'van Leeuwen Companies'. Under this name, the evacuation chairs were assembled and supplied. And finally, this name changed to 'Escape Mobility Company'. This change was needed to describe the actual purpose of the business. The company name creates a link between Escape products and Mobility products. Different types of Mobility products are built for continuous transportation of people and goods.
