We are pleased to welcome some new faces to the Rober team.

Russell Burton has moved from sister company, Speed Plastics as a lead engineer and will be overseeing the production of all Rober’s pressure ulcer relief mattresses. Darren Godber will be working alongside Russell as an engineering operative along with Josh Wallace, who is currently studying Electrical Engineering at Chesterfield College. Tracy Orwin will also be working within customer services liaising with all Rober’s customers, suppliers and distributors and Ruth Swann has joined the manufacturing team as a machinist.

Based in Chesterfield, Rober develop and manufacture ‘zero pressure’ mattresses, which use automatically controlled changes in airflow to vary and eliminate localised pressure. The company’s dynamic supports are designed with input from medical professionals to minimise the risk of pressure ulcers in people with restricted movement. They also reduce the need for manual repositioning, reducing the burden on nursing and carer support.

On behalf of everyone at Rober, we wanted to wish all our customers and suppliers Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please note the Rober offices will close from 12 noon Friday 21 December and will reopen Wednesday 2 January at 8:30 am.

Merry Christmas from Rober

Understanding what customers think about Rober mattresses is extremely important, so it was a real honour to recently visit some hospitals in Hamburg with our German partner, GerroMed.

UK press relief specialist Rober, was delighted to welcome its German partner, GerroMed to its head office in Chesterfield this month. This was GerroMed’s first visit to the Rober head office and it was a great opportunity for the company to see pressure ulcer mattresses being manufactured first-hand. The meeting allowed GerroMed to meet the full Rober team, learn more about the manufacturing process and find out more about future R&D.

UK pressure relief specialist Rober will shortly ship 25 of its pioneering mattress systems to India. The shipment, soon to be helping reduce pressure ulcers in Bangalore, includes a variety of mattress types from Rober’s NoDec range.

Pressure relief specialist Rober, is once again returning to Arab Health 2018 to showcase its pioneering ‘zero pressure’ mattress range. On display this year will be the WIZARD^®, an innovative mattress that offers protection to bedridden and critically ill immobile patients. It combines Rober’s signature alternating pressure cell design with an impressive tilt facility. This action gently turns the patient onto their side, comfortably and correctly, thus reducing the requirement for manual handling.
