Company History
How It All Began
Nuprodx founder Bruce Hammer understands the need for mobility solutions as well as anyone. Bruce, a former professional motorcycle racer, was ranked second in the United States when his life took an unexpected turn in 1982. Bruce crashed during a race and became a quadriplegic after breaking his neck at the sixth/seventh vertebra. Bruce, who also had a background in architecture, eventually began designing and creating products that would help him travel more independently. Inspired by the freedom that the products provided, Bruce founded Nuprodx in 1998 to offer solutions to others. Since then, Nuprodx has grown to produce the most complete, the most innovative, and highest quality in-home and travel solutions on the market.
Management
Bruce Hammer, Founder & CEO
Throughout the late 70’s Bruce Hammer juggled two careers, the first in cabinet & furniture making and the second in motorcycle racing. In 1980 he earned the rank of number-two professional motorcycle roadracer in the United States. In 1981 he co-founded Team Hammer, 13-time national champions. During a crash at a national championship race in 1982, Bruce suffered a life-changing injury and became a quadriplegic. After completing a four-month stay in a southern California rehab hospital and re-starting his life, he quickly realized how difficult it was to travel with a disability. Bruce first attempted to create a portable shower chair for himself by simply cutting apart a standard tub transfer bench, after which he put the pieces into a big suitcase. The Nuprodx line of products is the result of over 40 years of experience and determination to make products that help others live better.

Our Logo Story
Supporting Customers
The Nuprodx logo symbolizes our commitment to our customers. The nested “n” represents the mutually supportive relationship Nuprodx has with its product users. Moreover, the arched bridge shape symbolizes the patented connector bridge technology essential to many of our products. Perhaps most importantly, this metaphor extends to our mission in providing our customers with a bridge to a more independent life.
