LEARN MORE ABOUT APPLIED MEDICAL
“Not only does Applied Medical build superb medical devices; it builds careers. I was the 41st employee hired in 1990. Since then, I’ve spent time in every Engineering division, Documentation Control, Maintenance, the Prototype Shop, Automation, Mold Manufacturing, Quality Systems, and Regulatory Affairs. I’ve been here for 27 years. I could retire but I would miss the community!”
Frans V. - Team Member Since 1990
“To have a career that has provided me with so much learning and knowledge, has offered many great opportunities to grow and develop, and has allowed me to contribute to numerous accomplishments is beyond my expectations. Being able to experience all of that and witness a small company grow so large and become so successful has made this a very rewarding career.”
