As part of the recent merger to create Zimmer Biomet Holdings, a global leader in musculoskeletal health, Biomet3i and Zimmer Dental are combining operations. Zimmer Biomet will headquarter its dental business in Palm Beach Gardens, at the original Biomet 3i site. The company will retain 473 positions at the Florida location, and plans to hire more than 150 additional employees over the next three years.
“Zimmer Biomet’s Dental Division is the largest dental implant company in the United States, and we are excited to continue our growth as part of the Palm Beach Gardens community,” said general manager David Josza. “Our combined operations will allow the company to more effectively serve our customers and administer our global organization.
