Moving things together
Since 2005, we have been producing BIOLOX®delta ceramic components for hip joint replacement also at the Marktredwitz site. To be able to meet the growing demand of our customers, we are planning to expand our presence there (see press release from October 2022). Our medical technology division's existing production complex is to be expanded in the coming years to include, among other things, a further production hall.
On this page you can follow the construction site activities in Marktredwitz step by step. Together we move things!
