We’re pleased to announce that Eqwal and TASKA have acquired Pro Armour and will be integrating their products into the TASKA portfolio from today.

Founded in New Zealand by adventurer William Pike and his wife Rebecca, Pro Armour creates protective covers for prosthetic feet and components, helping people enjoy the outdoors without worrying about water, sand, dirt or grit damaging their prosthesis.

For William, the business started with a very personal problem. “When I first started Pro Armour, it was born out of lived experience and the daily frustrations I faced after losing my leg in a volcanic eruption. I simply wanted a reliable way to protect my prosthetic feet and components from water, sand and grit so I could get back to enjoying life.”

Since launching in 2020, Pro Armour has grown from supporting amputees in New Zealand to serving customers around the world.

For TASKA, the fit is a natural one. Both businesses were born in New Zealand, both started by solving a genuine problem for people with limb difference, and both share a belief that prosthetic technology should enable people to live life with fewer limitations.

“Pro Armour shares much of what makes TASKA, TASKA,” said CEO Ben Travers.

“It’s a New Zealand innovation with global ambition, built from lived experience and designed to solve a real problem. Most importantly, it helps people get back to doing the things they enjoy. We’re excited to welcome Pro Armour and help take what William and Rebecca have built to even more people around the world.”

William will remain involved during the transition, helping ensure continuity for Pro Armour’s customers and partners. The Pro Armour brand and products will continue, supported by TASKA’s global experience, networks and infrastructure.

For TASKA, the focus remains firmly on upper limb technology.

Pro Armour offers an opportunity to bring TASKA’s capabilities to another strong New Zealand innovation that shares its purpose and values.

As William puts it: “I am incredibly proud of everything we have achieved together. I’m excited for Pro Armour to join TASKA and for the next chapter of its journey.”
