Invacare and two of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy code on Jan. 31 as part of a plan to reduce debt by about $240 million.
In the wake of the filing, Invacare has:

- Partnered with a sales organization to expand the reach of its Lifestyle portfolio; and
- Closed its product and distribution facility in Sanford, Fla.
In a press release announcing the initial bankruptcy filing, Invacare stated it expects to be financially positioned to seize opportunities and capitalize on a significant upward shift in market demand, and deliver improved profitability and free cash flow in 2023 and beyond.
