An orthopedic surgeon – Dr. Homer Stryker, founded Stryker in 1941. After conducting innovative research and development in his Michigan basement, Dr. Stryker began inventing, and eventually manufacturing, medical products to meet his patients’ needs. Since then, the company has become a global leader in innovation, research and development, and production of medical technology. They have achieved tremendous growth and well-deserved success, including the addition of the Stryker Sustainability Solutions division in 2010.

The primary mission of the Stryker corporation is plain and simple – to make healthcare better. As a result of this customer-driven vision to improve the lives of patients, the sustainability solutions branch was born, thus making it possible for medical equipment to be reprocessed and remanufactured.
