• The Arthrex Story

    From a start-up in the Munich Olympic Village to a globally leading medical technology company in private ownership. From 1 to over 8,000 employees in 40 years – that's Arthrex! Our history is marked by innovation, growth, dynamics, and the mission of our founder to support doctors in providing their patients with better treatment.

OUR HISTORY

Helping Surgeons Treat Their Patients Better® Since 1981

Before there was a market for minimally invasive surgical techniques and medical instruments – that is, arthroscopy – Reinhold Schmieding founded the small start-up company Arthrex in Munich in 1981 with the goal of supporting doctors in improving patient treatment and care.

  • FROM THE BEGINNING TO GLOBAL INNOVATION

    The Arthrex Success Story

    The prototypes of the first surgical arthroscopy instruments certainly piqued people's interest, but they couldn't be produced in the desired quality in Germany at the time. Production was then transferred to the USA, and the company founded there for a second time – with success.

    Today – more than 40 years later – the Arthrex mission of Helping Surgeons Treat Their Patients Better inspires innovation, dedication, and teamwork not only in our president and founder, but also in more than 8,000 employees around the world every day.
