Company Profile
Exactech Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of orthopedic implant devices and surgical technologies, headquartered in Gainesville, Florida. Founded in 1985 by orthopedic surgeon Bill Petty, M.D., his wife Betty, and biomedical engineer Gary Miller, Ph.D., the company was acquired by TPG Capital in 2018 and taken private. In October 2024, Exactech filed for Chapter 11 restructuring to address product liability claims. In September 2025, the court confirmed a restructuring plan under which Strategic Value Partners, Stellex Capital Management, and Greywolf Capital Management acquired substantially all operations and assets. The reorganized company is led by CEO Aurelio Sahagun (appointed August 2025). Exactech employs over 900 people and markets products in the United States and more than 30 international markets across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific.
