14 reasons to join Stryker’s Instruments division in Portage, Michigan
Stryker's Instruments division opened its new office space in Portage, Michigan in 2019 with an open work environment and state-of-the-art amenities. At 485,000 square feet, this space can accommodate our vast collection of teams and services under one roof enabling us to easily innovate alongside our customers.
Our space thrives on transparency. The glass walls remind us that no idea should be created in a vacuum, and the 277 acres of surrounding farmland were specifically selected for their connections to nature. From the natural grasses, walking trails, and bounty of wildflowers growing in the spring, our building serves as a backdrop to support future design, innovation, and growth.
