As the inventors of the flexible adapter-head principle, the BioBall® system, we have been a competent partner offering reliable solutions to surgical challenges for over 25 years. We support doctors and surgical staff in their daily work with proven implants and instruments as well as providing training opportunities. We react agilely and quickly to market needs, offer a diverse portfolio of reliable implants for hip revision, foot surgery, pediatric orthopedics and for the treatment of bone defects and periprosthetic fractures. Our DNA is the production of highest quality implants, made in Germany. Our products are used in over 40 countries. They have thus proven themselves worldwide and have become indispensable standards, also thanks to well-known, international co-developers and an excellent team of engineers, quality managers, product specialists and sales employees.
Our values
Our values are the basis of our corporate culture; the cultural DNA of Merete. They have established clear guidelines for actions that flow into all our decisions.
These five values shape our culture:
Reliability
We always stick to our commitments and stand by our promises to customers, business partners, and employees alike. We implement business decisions continuously in accordance with the highest quality standards. If there are unforeseeable changes in our implementation process that could affect our internal and external customers, we communicate them honestly and in a reasonable time frame. We treat each other with trust and respect. Every person who works with us knows that what we do directly correlates to what we say we are going to do.
Transparency
Our actions are open and honest and thus create transparency in all of our operational decisions, processes, and results. We openly communicate our strategy, achieved milestones, data, and key figures to all stakeholders.
Acting responsibly
We act in the best interest of our company as it relates to our business partners, our employees, and the benefit of our customer’s patients. In doing so, we handle resources, data, and information responsibly, carefully, conscientiously, and according to the industry’s highest standards.
Appreciation
For us, appreciation goes beyond praise and reflects an authentic interest in our employees and business partners. We want to understand what drives our colleagues, customers, and business partners in their daily actions. This respectful exchange – also across hierarchical levels – contributes to the continuous development of our company.
Open-mindedness
We are a diverse team with international roots. Everyone, regardless of gender, nationality, or sexual orientation, contributes to enriching Merete with their skills and experience. This openness and inclusivity are essential in our search for the best possible solutions to our complex business strategies and goals. We pride ourselves on working with colleagues who are receptive and are also curious, who are open-minded can look beyond their own perspectives, and who contribute constructive and innovative solutions.
