Every day, millions of workers lift, carry, and move through physically demanding jobs—often at the cost of their long-term health. Back injuries and fatigue have become accepted as “part of the job,” especially in sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and hospitality. ArmasTec is on a mission to change that.
Their flagship product, the AireLevate
, is a lightweight, air-powered fabric exosuit designed to reduce lower back strain during lifting and manual work. It does not have heavy metal frames or bulky batteries—just a breathable, wearable support system that relieves up to 50 per cent of the load on the spine, making a 20kg lift feel like 10.
What makes ArmasTec different is how wearable and practical the solution really is. Unlike traditional exoskeletons, the AireLevate is made from fabric and powered entirely by air. It is easy to put on, move in, and wear through an entire shift. Designed with clinical insight and built for everyday jobs, it supports the back and reduces spinal strain without getting in the way.

Curious if it’s working?
It is.
Workers feel the difference. One cleaner shared that his wife noticed he had more energy when he got home. A hospital therapist called it “magic.” That kind of feedback is hard to ignore.
And the traction backs it up. ArmasTec has seen 5.4 per cent weekly revenue growth, passed US$240,000 in annual recurring revenue, and has done it all entirely through inbound sales. That means zero ad spend, no outbound salesforce, and having the product to sell itself. Their flexible rental model is gaining strong traction with large employers, offering low-risk trials that lead to long-term adoption.
What is next, you asked?
ArmasTec is now raising its seed round to scale production and bring the AireLevate to more workplaces across the region. The plan includes:
- Scaling up production to meet growing demand
- Expanding into new markets
- Hiring across engineering, sales, and operations
- Strengthening R&D to keep improving comfort and performance
ArmasTec is looking for investors who believe in a future where safety, comfort, and productivity go hand in hand. If you are building workplaces where people come first, they want to hear from you.
Because no one should have to sacrifice their health to do their job.
