Biomet Microfixation

The economy is what worries me. Just don't want to start with a company that just sent nearly all of their manufacturing to Indiana. Doesn't seem real stable thats all.

I wouldn't worry about the viability of the company due to the manufacturing move to Warsaw. BMF will maintain sales as long as Biomet corp (ie, the private equity investors) decides to keep a CMF division. Sales are generated by the relationships the distributors have with a few key surgeons. And with a 20% commission, they tend to keep the sales guys (regardless of how sleazy some are). The real worry is when the economy improves, does BMF become an asset for the PE guys to sell (Medtronic, S&N?)? The sales at BMF are a rounding error for ortho/spine so the sales wouldn't even be noticed on a quarterly earnings statement for Biomet.

The company (in one form or another) will be around for a while. Don't hesitate taking the job for fear the company will fold - I would be more focused on fitting in with the group. As mentioned previously, the engineers are really just technical customer service folks. There's no way I would work in "Eutopia" - the enormous cube farm similar to a day care setting. Shawn cares about Shawn (and Laura) and that's about all. Rapid Response gets left alone for the most part so if you have to take the job at BMF - I'd see about getting into that group.

Multiple personality disorder? Maybe got fired for being crazy?
 






I have worked for 20 years at this company and 90% of mfg did not go to Warsaw.As stated earlier at least 50% went to China. Maybe your friend just doesn't want to admit his company is sending American jobs to another country

I have an opportunity to work for this company in their engineering department but all these posts are a little scary. Anybody with some real insight on here or just disgruntled employees?

I work here and most posts are true, you just have to play the right game with the right people or just don't talk to anyone.we have more engineers than all other employees so they must have something to offer them. Also have seen more engineers leave than all others types of employees

I have a friend who works at Biomet who tells me 90% did go to Warsaw and heard that the rest will be headed there soon.

Why does everyone keep saying 90% of mfg went to Warsaw when everyone who works here knows most of it went to China? 90% left Jax but it didn't all go to Indiana for Americans who really needs the work

I wouldn't trip about da viability o' da company due ta da manufacturing move ta Warsaw. BMF will maintain sales as long as Biomet corp (ie, da private equity investors) decides ta keep uh CMF division. Sales iz generated by da relationships da distributors gots wiff uh few key surgeons. And wiff uh 20% commission, dey tend ta keep da sales pimpz (regardless o' how sleazy some are). The real trip iz when da economy improves, do BMF become an asset fo' da PE pimpz ta sell (Medtronic, S&N?)? The sales at BMF iz uh rounding error fo' ortho/spine so da sales wouldn't even be noticed on uh quarterly earnings statement fo' Biomet.

The company (in one form or another) will be around fo' uh while. Don't hesitate taking da job fo' fear da company will fold - I would be mo' focused on fitting in wiff da group. As mentioned previously, da engineers iz really just technical customer service folks. There'snahh way I would werk in "Eutopia" - da enormous cube farm similar ta uh day care setting. Shawn cares about Shawn (and Laura) an' dat'sabout all. Rapid Response gets left alone fo' da most part so if ya gots ta take da job at BMF - I'd see about getting into dat group. Don't make me come ovah there bitch!

Oh no! Parts made in China?!?! That is very old news. Biomet is no different than any other device company nowadays. Get over it. That fact remains that 90% has moved to Warsaw. You Florida folks are so smart, it's no wonder why your products headed north.
 












Florida folks my not be smart but we are smart enough to make good parts and know that 90 % did in fact go to CHINA THANKS ROBIN My it is the WARSAW people that are idiots. After all
we did try to train you idiots
 






China will end up manufacturing everything. It will be interesting to see how they use lead in medical products. They seem to get it in everything else.

Quality is not the objective.
