Timeline
2006
InteSpring was originally founded in 2006 by Boudewijn Wisse (MSc in Industrial Engineering), Wouter van Dorsser (MSc in Industrial Engineering) and Rogier Barents (MSc in Mechanical Engineering). The patented core technology of InteSpring, counterbalancing gravitational forces by using smart energy storage mechanisms, led to many products and multiple spinout companies

Anchis became a joint venture between InteSpring Holding and Anchor. With the sole purpose of commercializing the by InteSpring developed Balancebox. (https://www.heightadjustablemounts.com/).
2011
Sprinq was the first full sister-company of InteSpring. It developed, produced and sold. Modular, spring-powered seating to help elderly to get out of their chair. Unfortunately Sprinq ended in a lawsuit with on of the partners and was finally liquidated in 2021. All IP is transferred to InteSpring Holding.
2014
Laevo was the second joint venture between InteSpring Holding and Achmea as a direct result of the X-arm project that has been developed within InteSpring. It was also in 2014 that InteSpring was contacted by the Dutch Ministry of Defence to facilitate technological development of the Exobuddy exoskeleton project.
NOW
Currently InteSpring focusses on wearables that can exert a force, like exoskeletons and medical orthoses.
