Ortho Active Appliances Ltd and Levitate Technology ApS Announce Preferred Distribution Agreement for Canada
Vancouver, BC – November 20th, 2025 — Ortho Active Appliances Ltd (“Ortho Active”) and Levitate Technology ApS (“Levitate”) are pleased to announce a new preferred distribution agreement for Canada. Under this partnership, Ortho Active will become the preferred Canadian distributor of Levitate’s range of prosthetic running blades, everyday feet, sockets and related prosthetic products, ensuring clinics and patients have ready access to cutting-edge, high-performance prosthetic solutions.
As part of this agreement, Ortho Active will maintain a large local inventory of Levitate feet and blades in Canada, ensuring fast and easy access to products. Additionally, prosthetic clinics will have access to trial products, allowing prosthetists and patients to evaluate Levitate’s products first-hand. This new partnership coincides with the launch of the new Forever LP foot, a lower-profile evolution of the Forever series, further expanding the options for everyday activity and sports use.
Levitate Technology ApS, a Danish corporation, was founded in 2020. The company is led by engineer and amputee Lasse Werner Madsen, who founded Levitate after experiencing first-hand the challenges and costs of obtaining active prosthetic solutions. His experience, combined with collaborations with technical experts and institutions such as the Technical University of Denmark, has driven Levitate’s design efforts from the outset. All Levitate products are designed and manufactured in Denmark, reflecting the highest standards of Scandinavian quality, engineering, and craftsmanship. This commitment to local production ensures exceptional consistency, durability, and sustainability — hallmarks of Nordic design and precision manufacturing. Levitate has already been recognized with several awards and honors, including nomination and finalist for the Danish Design Award 2025, recognising the combination of durability, energy return, comfort, and aesthetic design for Levitate’s Forever Series.
Lasse Werner Madsen, Founder & CEO of Levitate Technology ApS:
“We founded Levitate to make high-performance prosthetics accessible to everyone who wants to move, compete, and live actively. Partnering with Ortho Active—bringing local inventory and demo opportunities in Canada—means we can reach more clinics and more people sooner. The Forever LP is the next step in our mission: lower profile, better integration in everyday life, without compromising performance.”
Rob Tsujimura, VP of Business Development at Ortho Active Manufacturing Inc. added:
“Ortho Active has always been committed to representing great brands. The agreement with Levitate aligns with our mission to bring innovative prosthetic solutions to Canadian clinics. With demo units and a large stock of Levitate feet and blades in country, we can reduce wait times, improve clinical service, and ensure patients have access to some of the most exciting prosthetics in the field.”
