Innophys has launched the Muscle Suit (R) series in Romania as part of its efforts to expand in
the EU market. Demand for exoskeletons that ease workers' physical
burden is rising in Romania due to
labor shortages. By partnering with SC BUNZL ROMANIA SRL, a local distributor specializing
in industrial safety products, Innophys will target sectors such as
manufacturing. Romania is seen as
a key market in Eastern Europe,
and through this expansion, Innophys aims to extend its reach
across the region, now operating in 20 countries and
territories.
The current overseas Muscle Suit (R) distributors are located in
the following countries/regions (as January
31, 2024):
- Asia: China, South
Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong & Macau, Malaysia, Thailand
- EU: France, Spain, Italy,
Germany, Poland, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania
- Latin America: Mexico
The overseas exoskeleton market is transitioning from the
introductory phase to a growth phase, with a particularly high
level of demand anticipated in EU countries, driven by growing
awareness of worker protection. Innophys will continue to
accelerate its business expansion in EU nations in the future.

The Muscle Suit Every is an exoskeleton designed to reduce the
strain on the lower back during tasks such as maintaining a
half-crouched posture or lifting heavy objects. With a maximum
assisting force of 25.5kgf, it weighs only 3.8kg, making it
lightweight. Operating without electricity, it utilizes pneumatic
artificial muscles to provide assistance, making it suitable for
various work environments, including manufacturing, agriculture,
caregiving, logistics, and construction.
As of April 2024, the Muscle Suit
(R) series has surpassed a cumulative shipment of 30,000 units
worldwide. It holds a world record* of the highest global shipment
volume for exoskeleton-type assistive suits using artificial
muscles (*according to Innophys' research).

By incorporating the assistive technology of artificial muscles
developed in the Muscle Suit (R) series into the back of the
supporter, it achieves top-tier assistance in the supporter
category.
Additionally, with a small contact area on the body, it makes
its user feel less warm, allowing for comfortable wear even in
summer. The support can be easily toggled on and off using the
shoulder buckle, making it suitable for driving while wearing. The
fatigue is minimal even when worn continuously all day long.
