WARSAW, Ind., Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OrthoPediatrics Corp. (NASDAQ:KIDS), a company exclusively focused on advancing the field of pediatric orthopedics, announced today the expansion of its Warsaw, Indiana headquarters. The planned $1M expansion will double the Company’s existing warehouse while creating additional open-concept office space and dedicated training and education facilities.
The Company will host a ground-breaking ceremony on Thursday, August 16th, at 2:00pm ET.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) is a great supporter of this initiative, adding “Indiana is known as one of the leading hubs for orthopedics, and we are excited to see this trend not only continue but strengthen with the commitment of companies like OrthoPediatrics,” said Elaine Bedel, IEDC President. “Our industry leaders are innovating new products and developing 21st century solutions for people in need across the world, while serving Hoosiers and their families here at home by providing good, skilled jobs. We are glad that OrthoPediatrics is choosing to expand here in Indiana, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for this growing team.”
Mark Throdahl, Chief Executive Officer of OrthoPediatrics, commented, “For the last 10 years, OrthoPediatrics has grown revenue 20% or more every year, and we reported 28% revenue growth last quarter. Since our IPO in October 2017, we have been aggressively investing in growth initiatives, including hiring additional associates, tripling the deployment of consigned implant/instrument sets, increasing our investment in R&D, and expanding our clinical education programs. With all the exciting opportunities we are pursuing, we have simply outgrown our current building! The physical expansion of our headquarters reflects OrthoPediatrics’ growth and commitment to our surgeons and their patients so we can continue strengthening our leadership in pediatric orthopedics.”
