Sweetrich

Suzhou Sweetrich Vehicle Industry Technology Co., Ltd. manufactures electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters designed for elderly and disabled individuals seeking independent mobility. Established in 2011 within Suzhou Industrial Park, the company operates a 30,000-square-meter production facility and exports to over 40 countries including the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia.

Company Overview

Sweetrich emerged from a partnership with SWEMO GmbH, a German mobility equipment company based in Aachen. The Chinese manufacturing operation was established in Jiangsu Province to serve global demand for affordable yet quality mobility products. The company positions itself as a mid-to-high-end brand in consumer mobility markets outside China, while the domestic sales arm operates through Sweetrich Health Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

The brand name reflects the company’s mission statement: enabling a “sweet and rich” retirement life for aging populations. With over a decade of accumulated R&D and manufacturing experience, Sweetrich has developed proprietary intellectual property covering electric drive systems, folding mechanisms, and ergonomic seating designs.
