Zimmer Biomet to showcase Complete Shoulder solution designed to support surgeon flexibility. September 18, 2026 (WARSAW, Ind.) Sept. 18, 2026 - Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH) today announced it will showcase its Complete Shoulder Solutions at the 16th International Congress of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ICSES 2026). Every shoulder case may bring its own clinical considerations. Zimmer Biomet's shoulder technologies are designed to give those surgeons the flexibility to select an approach that fits the patient, procedure and care setting. Zimmer Biomet will showcase robotic-assisted surgery, mixed reality navigation, pre-operative planning software, implant systems for anatomic and reverse arthroplasty and sports medicine technologies, including biologics. The updated ROSA(R) Shoulder System, which received expanded U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance in May 2026 is the industry's first robotic system to support both glenoid and humeral preparation for anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty techniques.[1][-2] The system adds improved robotically assisted glenoid reaming and humeral resection capabilities, building on the existing ROSA Shoulder platform. It uses digital tools to navigate patient anatomy and cross-validate findings to help reduce reliance on manual estimation. The system's data also integrates with the mymobility(R) Care Management Platform to leverage pre-, intra- and post-operative data. The goal is to provide surgeons with data they can use to inform decisions throughout the patient journey, supporting a more personalized and measurable approach to care. "The foundation of the ROSA Shoulder System is grounded in real-world surgeon insights," said Brian Hatcher, President, Sports Medicine, Extremities, Trauma, Craniomaxillofacial and Thoracic. "We partnered closely with leading shoulder surgeons, listening to their experiences in the operating room to understand exactly what they need in the moments that matter: visibility, precision, efficiency and flexibility." Also on display at ICSES is Signature Vision(TM), a compact, surgeon-centric mixed reality system designed to deliver real-time holographic feedback on instrument positioning relative to the surgical plan. It can also fit into smaller surgical environments without rearranging staff flow or setup. Navigation lives in the surgeon's line of sight rather than on a separate screen. The system is compatible with a broad implant portfolio; Signature Vision extends confidence through technology designed to work with implants surgeons know and trust. "As shoulder arthroplasty volumes continue to grow, we want to make sure surgeons have more than one way to close the gap between what they plan and what they deliver," said Hatcher. "This year's ICSES exhibit reflects Zimmer Biomet's commitment to delivering a complete shoulder solution approach from innovative pre-operative planning and robotic technologies to soft tissue repair and total shoulder arthroplasty." Products and technologies on display at [Booth 404] will include: Robotics and Navigation * The ROSA(R) Shoulder System - robotically assisted total shoulder arthroplasty for anatomic and reverse procedures with expanded glenoid reaming and humeral resection capabilities * Signature Vision(TM)- compact mixed reality navigation delivering real-time holographic guidance for shoulder arthroplasty (in surgeon evaluation) Upper Extremities * Identity(R) Shoulder System - dynamic platform system designed to enable the surgeon to tailor the construct to the patient in front of them in anatomic, reverse and revision cases. * Comprehensive(R) Shoulder System - including Augmented Baseplates, Vault Reconstruction System (VRS(TM) and Segmental Revision System (SRS); the Comprehensive Reverse has the highest long-term survivorship rate of any reverse shoulder system in the AOANJRR registry. In its 2025 Annual Report, the AOANJRR showed Comprehensive Reverse had a 10-year survivorship rate of 96.6%.[4] * OsseoFit(R) Stemless Shoulder System - bone-preserving implant designed to match the asymmetric humeral anatomy,[3-5] optimizing fit with left- and right-side options in five sizes for anatomic shoulder arthroplasty * Signature(TM) ONE Planner - 3D CT-based planning software designed to streamline pre-operative workflows with simulated join assessments and efficient case plan turnaround times[6] Sports Medicine * OsseoCoat(TM) JuggerKnot(R) Soft Anchor System, Tapestry(R) Biointegrative Implant, ActivBraid(R) Collagen-UHMWPE Suture and Genie(TM) Knotless Anchors - all part of the ZB-3(TM) Biologic Continuum for rotator cuff repair, spanning anchor, suture and biologic technologies About Zimmer Biomet Zimmer Biomet is a global medical technology leader with a comprehensive portfolio designed to maximize mobility and improve health.

Zimmer proposes to cut 580 jobs in Switzerland. Reducing headcount at the Swiss site is part of an ongoing effort to simplify the company's manufacturing footprint and supply chain. Published Sept. 14, 2026 Dive brief: * Zimmer Biomet has proposed a restructuring of Swiss manufacturing operations that could cause a reduction of up to 580 positions. * The company, which announced the proposal last week, has yet to make final decisions but has suggested the changes as part of efforts to optimize its manufacturing network. * Zimmer has started a collective consultation with the works council to assess alternatives and ways to limit the loss of jobs. The company currently employs about 700 people at the site, a spokesperson said in an email to MedTech Dive. Dive insight: Zimmer acquired the manufacturing facility in Winterthur, Switzerland, in 2003 as part of its deal to buy Centerpulse. The U.S. company won a bidding war against Smith & Nephew for the business. Winterthur remained a key part of the manufacturing network throughout waves of restructuring, which saw Zimmer shutter a former Centerpulse plant in Texas, a California facility and a site in the U.K. However, Zimmer has reduced its presence in Winterthur in recent years. In 2020, the company moved its European headquarters to the Swiss town of Zug, transferring 130 positions from Winterthur in the process. Zimmer eliminated 73 jobs at Winterthur in 2022. The proposal to further reduce the headcount at the site is part of Zimmer's ongoing manufacturing network optimization strategy. Through the strategy, Zimmer said in last week's announcement that it aims to "simplify its manufacturing footprint and supply chain, improving efficiency and positioning the business for long-term success." Zimmer is building a manufacturing plant in Costa Rica. The facility will further the company's "strategy of increasing supply chain resilience while gaining access to lower-cost geographies," Zimmer CEO Ivan Tornos said on an earnings call last month.
Zimmer Biomet plans to cut up to 580 jobs in Winterthur. Bad news for the employees of the US medical technology company Zimmer Biomet in Winterthur: As part of a restructuring of production, up to 580 of the 730 positions could be eliminated at the site, as the company announced on Wednesday. 09.09.2026 05:25 Zimmer Biomet has owned the site since 2003. The US company had bought the firm Centerpulse at the time, which had its roots in the former medical technology subsidiary of the Sulzer Group. This was known for its artificial knee and hip joints. "We are very aware of the importance of the Winterthur site, its long-standing tradition and the important contribution of our local team," says Zimmer Biomet manager Elizabeth Gauthier. However, the reduction is not yet set in stone, emphasized a company spokesperson when asked by the news agency AWP. A consultation process has only just been launched.
Indiana-based Zimmer Biomet opens India GCC. * September 7, 2026 Zimmer Biomet, the Warsaw, Indiana-based orthopedic medical device company, has opened a new "technology center" in Bangalore and plans to hire approximately 500 employees there over the next three years. This new Global Capability Center will support a broad range of activities, including software engineering, product design, research and development, quality, regulatory affairs, and finance. About two-thirds of the planned employees are expected to work in technology-related positions. The company intends to use the Bangalore center for technology and product-related work that supports its global medical device business. Artificial intelligence will be an important area of focus. The company expects teams in Bangalore to work on applications of AI in areas including surgical robotics, surgical planning, and research and development, with the goal of incorporating the technology into products and accelerating development. Zimmer Biomet manufactures orthopedic implants for knee, hip, and shoulder replacement as well as robotic and other surgical technologies used in treating musculoskeletal conditions. The United States remains one of its largest markets, along with Europe and Japan. The Bangalore center is intended to bring several disciplines together in one location. Shaun Braun, Zimmer Biomet's Chief Information and Technology Officer, said the company wants the center to have the functions needed to work collaboratively on innovation that can ultimately be used by surgeons and care teams. Zimmer Biomet has initially outlined plans for about 500 employees over three years, but management does not appear to view that number as a fixed ceiling. Jehanzeb Noor, the company's Chief Strategy, Business Development, Innovation and Transformation Officer, said the company is not constrained to 500 employees and indicated that the operation could become considerably larger over time. The investment is another example of medical device companies expanding the role of their Global Capability Centers in India. Earlier generations of India centers were frequently established around IT support, finance, and other shared services. Increasingly, medical technology companies are putting software development, engineering, R&D, regulatory, quality, data, and product-development capabilities in the country. India is a major beneficiary of that transition because of its large pool of software engineers and other technical professionals. For medical device manufacturers, those skills have become increasingly relevant as products incorporate more software, data analytics, artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital technologies. Zimmer Biomet's choice of functions also shows how closely technology and medical device development are becoming intertwined. A company traditionally associated with orthopedic implants now also competes through robotic surgery, software, data, and technologies that assist surgeons in planning and performing procedures. The new Bangalore center gives Zimmer Biomet another location from which to develop those capabilities for its global business. I predict that total employment in India will grow substanitally beyond the initial 500 positions, and India will assume an increasingly significant role within the company's global technology and product-development organization. For American medical device companies, Zimmer Biomet's expansion is part of a broader shift in how India is being used. The country remains an important healthcare market, but for companies such as Zimmer Biomet, it is also becoming a location where engineers and other specialists help develop the technologies sold to hospitals and surgeons around the world.
