Who is Cook Group?


Our roots are in medical devices, but we also work in the life sciences, property management, resort, and service businesses.

Headquartered in Indiana, with locations worldwide, our values of integrity, quality, respect, and transparency all help guide our work and our relationships with our employees, customers, and communities. We innovate by listening first, then looking for the best solutions based on the needs expressed. We believe that when employers, employees, and communities collaborate, everyone is able to achieve more.

Our founders and the evolution of their business


In 1963, Bill and Gayle Cook created a small company that manufactured three simple medical devices used to treat patients in less invasive ways than common surgical techniques of the time.

Cook Group was created to provide support and oversight to the Cook companies, which remain family owned.
