RTI Surgical is now Evergen!

This rebranding reflects our strategic evolution as a leading CDMO in regenerative medicine and comes at the end of a significant year for the business, including the successful acquisitions of Cook Biotech in IN. and Collagen Solutions, MN. Our new brand identity emphasizes our unique positioning as the only CDMO offering a comprehensive portfolio of allograft and xenograft biomaterials at scale.

As the only regenerative medicine company that offers a differentiated portfolio of allograft and xenograft biomaterials at scale, Evergen is headquartered in Alachua, FL, and has manufacturing facilities in West Lafayette, IN., Eden Prairie and Glencoe, MN., Neunkirchen, DE., Glasgow, UK., and Marton, NZ.
