The company

What most of us take for granted can be a huge success for others.

Our mission

The desire to continue living in one’s own four walls is something that most of us share. At TOPRO Industri AS, we continuously work on developing new and innovative solutions that enable just that.

That is why we have launched TOPRO Step, a product developed by some of the best engineers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

The TOPRO Step story

2012

As students at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, we started developing the TOPRO Step stair climber in 2012.

Our goal was to develop a brand new and revolutionary aid that would enable more people to stay in their own homes for as long as they want.

2015

After an extensive development process with users and therapists, TOPRO Step was tested and certified by the renowned TÜV certification body in Germany in 2015 – and TOPRO Step was launched on the market.

2016

After the market launch, we traveled extensively throughout Norway to show what TOPRO Step can do for people. We have visited countless rehabilitation centers, municipalities, physiotherapy and occupational therapy practices and people who use and enjoy the TOPRO Step stair climber in their daily lives.

When Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit tried out the TOPRO Step, it attracted a lot of attention and even more enthusiasm

2017

Peder (6) was born with CP and was previously unable to climb stairs independently. When we installed the TOPRO Step stair climber on Peder in the summer of 2017, many people were skeptical.

Peder had never before climbed stairs independently without the support of an adult. Seeing how he mastered the first test run all by himself is the biggest source of motivation for us to make the TOPRO Step stair climber available to everyone who needs it.

Today

A lot has happened since then. The company is still based in the heart of Trondheim and has product development and production under one roof in new premises in Fossegrenda. We believe that more can be done to make people independent in their everyday lives.

TOPRO Step is our contribution to a more active and safer society for those who have difficulty climbing stairs.

20...

Together we are continuing the history of TOPRO Step and look forward to a future in which even more people can benefit from TOPRO Step.
