VB Spine has completed the acquisition of Stryker’s spine implant manufacturing facility in Cestas, France.

The Cestas facility will play a key role in VB Spine’s global manufacturing strategy because of its state-of-the-art operations and technical capabilities, the company said. The milestone builds on the April 1, 2025 formation of the company, created through the acquisition of Stryker’s U.S. spine implant business.

The company operates independently under the leadership of Marc, John, and Anthony Viscogliosi, co-founders of Viscogliosi Brothers LLC.

The acquisition brings with it the site’s people, infrastructure, and processes. It also creates opportunities to expand the company’s medical education and training programs in Europe.

“The team in Cestas brings deep expertise and a strong track record in manufacturing excellence,” said John Viscogliosi, co-CEO of VB Spine. “We’re thrilled to welcome them to VB Spine and excited for the role they will play in our future. Cestas will anchor our worldwide manufacturing capabilities and give us a strong platform to deliver training and best practices to surgeons.”

Employees will be transitioned from Stryker to VB Spine, the company said. Manufacturing operations will continue without interruption, and integration planning is underway to align systems, quality, and supply chain.

The company acquired Stryker’s spinal implants business in Australia and New Zealand in August.
