Orthopedic medical device innovator with minimally invasive surgery focus
Arthrex manufactures and distributes orthopedic surgical products and education globally, with 10,001+ employees across manufacturing, sales, and R&D operations. The tech stack reveals a classical medical-device manufacturing posture: CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER), enterprise resource planning (SAP), and cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS) for distributed operations. The company is migrating to SAP S/4HANA, signaling a push toward real-time inventory and supply-chain visibility — critical for a device maker with global distribution and regulatory complexity. Hiring velocity remains steady across sales (largest department), manufacturing, and engineering, with active pain points around FDA/ISO compliance, manufacturing efficiency, and speed-to-market for new product launches.

Revenue is driven through direct sales teams and medical education partnerships with residency and fellowship programs.
