Mobility Technologies chose Alexanders to be a manufacturing partner for the AFARI, a revolutionary medical device that restores mobility for the chronically ill, those rehabilitating from injury, and the aging population. The relationship began in 2015 during the design phase, an area of expertise for Alexanders. The company’s role, spanning several generations of prototypes, has included a new folding concept for easy transport and storage, as well as a steering concept that is more functional and comfortable than the original design. The hands-on manufacturing at Alexanders has involved CNC machining, steel tube rolling and welding, powder coating, and the assembly of components. With the evolution of the market-ready final design, Alexanders has transitioned to machining and fabricating fixtures for the efficient manufacture of multiple frames.
The first time we contacted Alexander's we knew right away this was a company that would be an important vendor for our facility. We were immediately impressed by the quality, durability, and safety aspects of their core chucks.

The superb quality of Alexander's work and their total commitment to providing us what we needed, when we needed it, and where we needed it has been critical to our success. We would not have been able to launch the biggest tidal energy device ever deployed in U.S. waters without them.

Alexander's is a great and caring company that performed all my needs doing on-site welding on washer disinfector chambers at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor. They have also performed work at Maine Coast Memorial Hospital in Ellsworth, most recently repairing a wash rack and welding to repair a washer-disinfector.
