540 Jobs at Risk at Global Medical Technology Firm

Frank Holmes, Chair of Manufacturing Wales, has commented on the sad news of the possible closure of Zimmer Biomet. He said:

"Manufacturing Wales, an industry led network supported by Universities and and FE Colleges is deeply saddened by the potential risks facing some of the staff of Zimmer Biomet in Bridgend. The high calibre of skills and quality of products are recognised world wide. Therefore, we must attract, train and retain these skills in Welsh manufacturing. There is strong peer to peer support in the manufacturing community and an offer of help to Zimmer Biomet, should it be required, to assist with job placements through the Manufacturing Wales network, is an option."
