NuVasive opens European Center of Excellence

NuVasive has announced the opening of its European Center of Excellence in Amsterdam. The center will serve as the company’s European commercial headquarters.

The International Operations Center in Ireland will continue to be the company’s international operations headquarters, according to a company press release.

“The Center of Excellence in Amsterdam will function as a European management office for corporate functions and as a surgeon education center,” Paul Kosters, Senior Vice President of the EMEA branch of NuVasive, told Spine Surgery Today. “The Center of Excellence will better position us to realize our vision of serving the needs of patients and surgeons in Europe while also driving innovation in minimally disruptive surgical products and procedures throughout the region. We will also pursue our commitment to surgeon education and plan to train surgeons through workshops on minimal invasive (maximal access) surgery through cadaveric courses and workshops.”

In addition, Kosters said, “Our initiatives in both Spain and Poland are focused on expanding our footprint in these important markets and establishing a sales and distribution network.”
