Warsaw, Indiana The Orthopedic Capital of the World™

The Warsaw, Indiana-based orthopedic cluster is unique in the business world. Its rise to global prominence started serendipitously when Revra DePuy began his company in Warsaw in 1895. It was assured when DePuy employee and area native J.O. Zimmer launched his own company in 1927.

By the time Biomet was created in 1977, the area was thriving with enterprises large and small, nearly all of them riding a wave of growth powered by development and acceptance of joint replacement to treat arthritis.

Today, these three companies are multi-billion dollar global enterprises, anchoring an industry cluster that represents nearly one-third of the $38 billion global orthopedic market.

“The Warsaw, Indiana orthopedic device cluster is one of the most concentrated centers of economic activity anywhere in the United Sates.”

$11 billion in annual sales
Nearly ⅓ of world’s orthopedic sales volume
Unequaled concentration of medical device industry jobs
Represents nearly 45% of county’s employment—nearly 13,000 total jobs
