The man behind a multibillion-dollar medical device company — one that has developed more than 25,600 surgical devices and implants — has been named the newest recipient of a prestigious Manitoba business award. Reinhold Schmieding will be recognized at the 2026 IDEA Gala on May 21.
The Associates, a group of 365 senior business executives with ties to the University of Manitoba’s business school, hosts the IDEA Gala annually. It honours a prominent business figure each year. Steve Young — co-founder of Huntsman Gay Global Capital — was the 2025 recipient.
Schmieding founded Arthrex, a company known for advancing arthroscopic and less invasive orthopedic surgery devices.
