Chr. Diener and Koscher & Würtz form a leading group of specialized contract manufacturers, focused on designing and producing precision reuseable and disposable surgical instruments.

The group employs approximately 300 highly skilled workers across three production locations in the Tuttlingen area in Germany; the global center of surgical instrument production. Being part of one group enables the companies to offer their clients an even broader portfolio of products, while benefiting from collaborative expertise and the sharing of best practices. The group’s state-of-the-art production technologies and stringent quality standards contribute to the overall improvement of medical care, ensuring precision and innovation in surgical procedures that benefit patients and healthcare professionals alike. The group services world-class original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in various fields of surgery, including orthopedic and spinal surgery, endoscopy, and neurosurgery.

Gilde Healthcare acquired Chr. Diener in 2022 and Koscher & Würtz in 2023 to form a specialized group, built on market leading reputations and many decades of experience. With ongoing consolidation in the surgical instruments market, Gilde sees opportunities to continue to expand the group through further acquisitions.
