Arthrex success story Creating innovative products for the medical industry

Continued expansion keeps Arthrex, orthopedic technology innovator, on the cutting edge. With an initial investment of $69 million and 1,000 jobs in 2017, Arthrex built a 200,000-square-foot facility in Anderson County to manufacture innovative orthopedic devices and implants.

Shaping the future of medical care

Arthrex is a global leader in orthopedic surgical device design, research, manufacturing and medical education. The company develops and releases more than 1,000 innovative products and surgical procedures each year to advance minimally invasive orthopedics worldwide.

Expanding and investing in South Carolina 

Arthrex sees the welcoming community feel of South Carolina as a differentiator for their team. Their employees love living in SC thanks to the access to diverse activities: cities, lakes, beaches and mountains. Not only do people give their all at work, but they are also involved in their communities. So, it wasn’t surprising in 2021, that Arthrex built a second manufacturing facility, the Arthrex Manufacturing Inc X-ray (AMIX). The facility features advanced technology designed to support both X‑ray and electron beam sterilization as Arthrex continues expanding its capabilities. 

“South Carolina is a great place to work—and be, and live.”
