History

Exton, Pennsylvania office

Zimmer Biomet was established in 1927 by Justin O. Zimmer (1884–1951)[6] in Warsaw, Indiana.[7][8] Then they began sending implants into the field excessively out of print. Just one example with a dimension off by approx .125".

On April 24, 2014, it was announced that Zimmer had agreed to purchase Biomet Inc. for $13.4 billion.[9] In October 2014, however, it was announced that the EU's antitrust regulators had opened an extensive investigation into Zimmer's bid for Biomet due to concern that it would substantially lessen competition in certain markets.[10] In March 2016, European Commission (“EC”) conditionally cleared Zimmer's proposed acquisition of Biomet, Inc.[11][12] and on June 24, 2015, Zimmer completed its acquisition of Biomet forming Zimmer Biomet Holdings.[4]

In October 2014, the company announced it would acquire ETEX Holdings, Inc.[13][14]

In March 2016, Zimmer Biomet announced it would acquire Ortho Transmission, LLC.[15] The company also announced it would acquire sports medicine company, Cayenne Medical, Inc.[16][17] Later in the same year the company acquired medical device manufacturer, LDR Holding Corporation for $37 per share ($1 billion in total),[18] merging it into their Spine division.[19][20] In July, the company acquired French surgical robotics company Medtech.[21] In August, the company announced it was acquiring Delaware-based CD Diagnostics,[22] a diagnostics company developing immunoassays and biomarker testing.[23] In September, Zimmer announced the acquisition of Clinical Graphics, B.V.[24]

The Justin Zimmer House in Warsaw is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In January 2023, the company announced its intention to acquire Embody, Inc. for $155 million (plus a potential $120 million in milestones).[25]
