Paragon Medical CEO Toby Buck said if market conditions warrant, Paragon Medical will construct a separate building for the global design center in the second half of 2010.
Bringing designers, surgeons and production workers under the same roof by definition keeps the industry local – and it gives it a competitive edge, Buck said.
“It should compress the time it takes to develop new instrument families and new procedures,” Buck said. “And it should minimize the heartburn.”
Paragon Medical is a supplier of medical devices used in orthopedic surgical procedures.
