1929

The History of Wright & Filippis

The story behind the company’s success can be traced to the determined spirit of a young boy’s frustrations and heartache that face many persons with disabilities. On April 29, 1929, Tony Filippis Sr. slipped and fell beneath the wheels of a moving train — his legs were later amputated below the knees. At a young age, Tony experienced the challenges and unique hardships facing people with disabilities and these experiences fueled his lifelong passion for assisting others.

1944

The History of Wright & Filippis

During the depression, many companies were unwilling to hire a double amputee. With little hope of finding or keeping a job, Tony turned to Carl Wright, the prosthetist who made Tony’s artificial legs. Carl offered Tony a job as an apprentice at his small shop in Detroit. Ten years later, in 1944, the two men formed their own company — Wright & Filippis.

Carl Wright passed away in 1959, but Tony Filippis and the Filippis family continue to guide the company with a distinctive blend of old-fashioned values and cutting-edge solutions.

Delivering the very best care, every day. Improving lives since 1944.
