Evonik Adds Advanced Biomaterials Production Facility in Alabama

Evonik Birmingham Biomaterials Facility

Evonik has commissioned an advanced biomaterials facility in Birmingham, Alabama that will support the increasing global market demand for the use of RESOMER® bioresorbable polymers with implantable medical devices. Evonik will also begin to provide contract manufacturing (CMO) services to customers seeking to outsource the production of their own proprietary excipients.

The 2,800-square-meter facility features multiple cleanrooms, reactors, specialized purification and micronization systems and other ancillary equipment. With an adjoining facility in Birmingham, Evonik can now provide an integrated range of biomaterial services at a single U.S. site to support projects from initial feasibility through to the commercial production of RESOMER standard or custom products.

Because Evonik has harmonized the equipment and processes utilized at both Birmingham and its other main biomaterials facility in Germany, medical device customers can also access a range of dual-sourcing options.

John Daly, Site Manager of Evonik Birmingham Laboratories, said, “Birmingham is now a global center of excellence for the design, development and supply of biomaterials. Regardless of the tightness of a customer’s product specifications or batch volume requirements, we have the technical expertise, operational flexibility, and regulatory track record to deliver the highest levels of quality and supply security.”
