Cleveland, Ohio – Just a few hours west from Cleveland, Ohio, the drive to Fort Wayne, Indiana, led me past working farms and wind farms until crossing into Northeast Indiana, and that’s where my trip to learn about the region’s bustling medical manufacturing sector began.
Eleven counties make up the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership – Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciukso, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley – where medical device manufacturing is large. Located in this multi-county region is “The Orthopedic Capital,” Warsaw, Indiana, which is recognized for its concentration of OEMs and contract manufacturers focused on the production of implants, from hips and knees to screws, plates, and more.
