Altasorb is the trade name for the bioabsorbable monomer and polymers produced by Ortec, Inc. Our products are produced in our new cGMP manufacturing facility located outside of Greenville, SC. Since its inception in 1980, Ortec has provided manufacturing services to the pharmaceutical and medical material industry.

As the company grew, it also expanded in other industries producing a wide spectrum of custom monomers and polymers for a variety of end uses. These custom polymer and monomer manufacturing services served a number of different markets such as coatings, adhesives, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.

Seeing a need in the marketplace for a reliable, high quality domestic source for Glycolide and Lactide, Ortec began construction on a new cGMP plant site in 2000. The new facility was commissioned in 2001, and Glycolide and Lactide products began shipping in 2002.
