Another 500 new jobs are coming to Anderson County as a result of a new $100 million investment to expand operations at Arthrex.
“Our partnership with Arthrex is succeeding beyond anyone’s expectations," said Anderson County Council Vice Chairman Brett Sanders, whose district is home to Arthrex. "They showed a lot of faith in our community when they began their journey with us a few short years ago, and today’s announcement indicates the level of confidence they have in our workforce. These jobs will improve the lives of hundreds of Anderson County families, and I am truly thankful.”
Arthrex’s expansion in Anderson will include adding a second manufacturing facility and an Electron-beam (E-beam) and X-ray sterilizations facility.
“This investment will help Arthrex better support the growth and development of new and innovative products that help surgeons treat their patients better," said Arthrex Vice President of Manufacturing Andy Owen. "Arthrex has been committed to manufacturing quality products in the United States, and this represents that continued commitment.”
An orthopedic technology innovator, Arthrex was founded in 1981, and 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.
The expansion is expected to be completed by mid-2023. Individuals interested in joining the Arthrex team should visit the company’s careers webpage.
