New Facility in Shannon, Ireland to Start Up in Late 2008

WARSAW, Ind., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zimmer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SWX: ZMH), a leader in the orthopaedics industry, announced today that it will expand its global manufacturing network by adding a 100,000 square foot plant in Shannon, Ireland.

"We are delighted to be adding a new Ireland facility to our global network," said David Dvorak, Zimmer Holdings President and CEO. "We are constantly assessing our worldwide operations and logistics network to maximize efficiency and customer service, and this project is a result of that process. We are grateful for the cooperation and encouragement of the national and local officials in Shannon and look forward to establishing a facility that utilizes the tremendous skills and expertise of the workforce to produce high technology medical devices."

Zimmer said it considered a number of sites before selecting Shannon, including its existing sites and other global locations. The Company expects to invest between $70 and 75 million (USD) over the next two years in its new facility in Shannon and plans to begin manufacturing operations in late 2008. Initial employment will be approximately 25 to 50 employees, with total employment expected to be approximately 250 in five years. At start-up, the facility will produce knee replacement implants, although other products could be added in the future. Shannon Development and Irish Development Agency officials provided incentives including tax rate adjustments and training grants; the Company did not disclose actual amounts.

Making the announcement in Ireland today, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheal Martin T.D., said: "Zimmer's decision to establish at Shannon Free Zone adds significantly to Ireland's profile as a leading location for medical device companies in Europe. This investment is very welcome news for Shannon and was secured by Shannon Development
