History

Biedermann Motech traces its history to 1916, when the company was founded in Germany. For more than a century it has worked in synergy with world-class surgeons to solve significant clinical challenges through the development of next-generation technology. The company describes its evolution as "100 years of innovation." A decisive strategic shift occurred in the 1980s, when Biedermann began specialising in the spine. This focus allowed the company to become a leader in spinal innovation, bringing life-changing technology to the world through specialist surgeons. Over many years of development work, Biedermann built up an extensive portfolio of patents in the field of spinal and extremity surgery, which it continues to expand. The company grew into a mid-sized, international, family-owned and operated group of companies with its headquarters in the Black Forest, Germany, in Villingen-Schwenningen. Its core competency is the development, production and distribution of innovative implants and instruments for spinal and extremity surgery, carried out in collaboration with healthcare professionals, technology partners, scientific institutions and specialised companies. In recent years Biedermann has released a steady stream of new products. In 2018 it introduced the MOSS VRS MIS spinal system. In 2019 it launched the DELTA XS Retractor System, a pedicle screw shank-based retractor for the iMAS360 procedural solution, and the Distal Radius 2.0 Locking Plate, which introduced a 360° feature for advanced fixation options with 2.0 mm screws and 1.8 mm pegs distally, incorporating Next Generation Polyaxial Locking Technology. In 2020 the company released MOSS VRS 2.0, described as the next generation of pedicle screw technology. In 2022 it introduced MOSS VRS Modular, the first MOSS VRS featuring MOSS!MODULARITY. In 2024 came the MOSS VRS Family, described as the world's first advanced correction techniques featuring MOSS!MODULARITY. In 2025 Biedermann launched the MOSS Injection Screw System, the world's first injection screw featuring MOSS!MODULARITY, and the DELTA XS 2.0 Retractor, offering advanced TLIF workflows and options featuring MOSS!MODULARITY. Throughout its history the company has maintained a certified quality system, holding ISO 13485:2016 certification, MDSAP certification and MDR certification for technical documentation and quality management.
