Niemier started his employment with Biomet as a staff auditor for Coopers and Lybrand before being offered a position within Biomet.

In 1990, Niemier was promoted to senior vice president of Warsaw operations, while retaining the vice president position in finance.
In 1991, Niemier was promoted to senior vice president of international operations and held that position until 2005, when he was named chief operating officer of international operations.
Niemier recently held the position of president of Biomet trauma and Biomet spine, before returning to Biomet headquarters earlier this year as senior vice president, Biomet international and corporate relations.
Niemier became a member of Biomet's board of directors beginning in 1987, and he plans to continue to serve in that capacity.
England joined Biomet in 1981 as a development engineer and was promoted to vice president of product engineering in 1987. He became vice president of manufacturing in 1989 and then vice president of research and development in 1992.
Beginning in 1994, England held the position of senior vice president of Warsaw operations until his promotion in 2005 to chief operating officer, domestic operations.
Biomet's president and chief executive officer Jeffrey R. Binder said, "Chuck and Garry have both contributed greatly to Biomet's entrepreneurial success story. On behalf of the Biomet team members, I want to thank Chuck and Garry for their dedication and many years of service to Biomet. They have each left an indelible mark on the company and will be missed. At the same time, we have a number of talented leaders in our organization and we will be asking many to step up and take on greater levels of responsibility."[[In-content Ad]]
