About us

For over 50 years, Dynamic Controls has powered some of the world’s most trusted mobility solutions. But it’s never just been about the solution; it’s always been about the people.

Founded in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1971, we began as a manufacturer of industrial electronic controls. Today, we are a trusted global partner in smart mobility and assistive technology, working alongside users, clinicians, and manufacturers to develop systems that support independence and participation in daily life.

We believe mobility is emotional; it is about freedom, comfort, and connection. That’s why our solutions are human-centered, blending technology with empathy to support real lives and real independence. Every feature we design, from smart power systems to connected control modules, is built from insight, and designed to support self-expression, autonomy, and inclusion.

We collaborate closely with our customers and their customers, end users and medical professionals, transforming life-liberating insights into real-world solutions. We turn deep insights into intuitive, accessible solutions that support and simplify life. Good enough is never enough, because people count on us every day.

Why We Exist

Vision

We are recognised for our role reinventing medical mobility. We aim to set the global standard for assistive mobility, transforming what is possible for individuals, partners, and communities.

Purpose

Enhance the lives of people with disabilities.

Everything begins with real-time empathy. We build technology not for technology’s sake, but to answer human needs. We listen, observe, and then respond. Our purpose and direction are shaped by the people we serve – their goals, challenges, and right to live freely.

A Legacy of Innovation

Dynamic Controls has shaped the industry with decades of world-firsts and global milestones:

Part of a Global Family

Today, Dynamic Controls is part of Allient, a U.S. based motion control leader with operations across North America, Europe, and Asia. This partnership gives us access to global expertise and infrastructure, while our Christchurch HQ remains at the heart of our R&D and innovation.

Together, we continue to push the boundaries of assistive technology, building a world where technology is a bridge, not a barrier, to inclusion and independence.
