Steeper traces its history back over 100 years to founder Hugh Steeper, who pioneered prosthetics for veterans of the Great War. Headquartered in Leeds, England, Steeper is a technology and innovation specialist across prosthetics, orthotics and assistive technology, with established NHS relationships in the UK. The company became part of the Eqwal Group in 2023. (Note: founding-year sources vary — PitchBook records 1921; the company describes itself as 'almost 100 years' old and traces its origins to Hugh Steeper's work supporting Great War veterans.)
