Enabling Technologies and HumanWare unite to offer the largest range of braille devices

February 13, 2018 — Enabling Technologies and HumanWare are pleased to announce today a new strategic partnership that will increase Enabling Technologies’ embosser distribution and expand HumanWare’s product portfolio offer into print braille.

Joao Beirante, Enabling Technologies president, stated: “During Enabling Technologies 43 year history, our mission has always been clear: Deliver the best braille and the best support to the braille community. Recognizing that more and more of our customers are seeking integrated solutions and a global support network, we have taken a decision to forge a close partnership with HumanWare to serve our growing business needs.”

Bruce Miles, President of HumanWare, said: “Given that we have had such a successful distribution partnership over the past years and the complementary nature of our product portfolios, it made sense to join forces on a worldwide basis. We look forward to distributing, supporting and servicing Enabling Technologies embossers through our global network and developing next generation products with Enabling Technologies’ management.”

Joao will continue to lead the commercial efforts and Enabling Technologies will operate from its current Florida facility.
