Warsaw, Indiana

Due to its remarkable concentration of orthopedic manufacturers, research institutions, and medical professionals, Warsaw has been named the Orthopedic Capital of the World.

The roots of this specialization trace back to the early 20th century when a local entrepreneur named Revra DePuy founded DePuy Manufacturing, one of the first companies to produce orthopedic devices. This visionary move laid the foundation for Warsaw's transformation into a global center for orthopedics.

"We are thrilled to establish a presence in Warsaw, one of the most dynamic medtech hubs in the United States. This expansion allows us to collaborate with the brightest minds and most innovative startups, driving breakthroughs and transforming healthcare."
