DePuy Synthes: a rich history of delivering total solutions to patients and healthcare professionals.

DePuy Synthes, part of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies, is one of the largest and most comprehensive orthopaedic business in the world; built on the legacy and strengths of two great companies.
Our company has a rich history of working with some of the greatest minds in the industry and science, making a difference in the lives of tens of millions of patients around the world.
New developments and growth began thanks to the ingenuity and intuition of a chemist in the U.S. in 1895, and then later in 1958 when a group of European surgeons committed to studying fractures and developing products that could help fractured patients have a better life.
It was 1895 when a 35-year-old chemist and pharmaceutical salesman named Revra DePuy came up with the idea of starting a business to manufacture fibre splints that could be customised to fit patients; an advancement over the wooden splints that were commonly used in the late nineteenth century.
In 1960, on the other side of the world, Synthes was established as a trademark of the non-profit institute Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO).
Over the years, new developments and growth have been fueled by strong investments in R&D but also by several mergers and acquisitions, with a recent focus on brand-based technology solutions to transform procedures through personalisation, automation and providing solutions for patients throughout the entire continuum of care.
DePuy Synthes Companies has employees in over 60 countries around the globe and generates $8.9B in annual sales.
