History


Research into resorbable polymers started at our R&D laboratory in Gorinchem, The Netherlands in the late 1960s. L-lactide was synthesized for the development of resorbable sutures and shortly thereafter the first polymers were synthesized in the lab.

In order to facilitate a rapidly expanding customer base a dedicated state of the art GMP production facility was built in 1999 at PURACs location in Gorinchem, The Netherlands. This facility was opened in 2000 and in 2002 the polymer production capacity was doubled. In 2005 a new R&D and QA/QC building was opened. This also made it possible to fully implement our ICHQ7 quality system in 2005.

Thanks to the continued trust of our customers in our capabilities and products we have been able to achieve the above results and become the independent and reliable, large-scale supplier that we are today.
