Össur hf. () is a company based in Iceland that develops, manufactures and sells non-invasive equipment for orthopaedics, including bracing and support products, compression therapy, and prosthetics. The company is headquartered in Reykjavík, with offices in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, and distributors in other markets.
==History== Össur was founded in Iceland in 1971 by Össur Kristinsson, a prosthetist. His family owned the company until 1999, when it went public and was listed on the Iceland Stock Exchange. Initially, the company served only the domestic Icelandic market, and then began to export in 1986 and expanded rapidly through a series of strategic acquisitions. Össur has been listed on the NASDAQ Copenhagen Stock Exchange since 2009 and celebrated 20 years as a publicly traded company in 2019, by ringing the closing bell at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York's Times Square. As of 2019 it employs more than 3,500 people in over 25 locations.
