Permobil's Board of Directors has appointed Chuck Witkowski new President and CEO, effective July 1, 2025. Chuck Witkowski succeeds Bengt Thorsson, who has decided to step down after seven years as CEO.
Chuck Witkowski, currently President of Permobil Americas, has been responsible for Permobil's operations and expansion in North America since 2019 and has previous experience from senior leadership roles in the medical technology companies Hillrom and Hubble Telemedical, being the founder of the latter one.
