Purac announces the investment in a new manufacturing facility for its biomedical polymers. The plant is meant to support the growing resorbable polymers business of Purac Biomaterials. Purac currently operates a plant for biomedical polymers in The Netherlands. This second facility will be built in the USA. The investment for this new plant will be EUR 15 million. The construction of the facility will start in 2011 and is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
