Stryker

A Culture of Performance Leads to Life Changing Products
From the Turning Frame bed and Walking Heel of yesterday to today’s total knee and hip replacements, Stryker’s inventive spirit burns bright in Southwest Michigan. While many focus on the medical devices themselves for Stryker’s success, the company, based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, instead sees its people as its greatest asset.

When looking to hire, Stryker turns the hiring process upside down – it finds the right person and then the right job. Through the dedication and commitment of its 15,000 worldwide employees of which 2,300 are local, Stryker takes its performance to the next level and is helping someone, somewhere at this moment, walk towards a loved one.

In close collaboration with Stryker and the region’s medical device community, Southwest Michigan First’s doors are open to help physicians, surgeons and inventors bring their ideas to life. Its management team is experienced in finding and developing medical device concepts scribbled on pads, whiteboards or even candy wrappers.

Sharing the Best Strategies Fosters Continuous Improvement
In 2011, growing faster than its walls would hold, Stryker approached Southwest Michigan First to explore options to accommodate their expanding workforce. Deciding to continue to invest in Southwest Michigan and employ talented individuals from the region, Stryker leased 100,000 square feet in an exemplary reuse of existing space to aid in their mission to make a difference.
