Ortec Inc.

Ortec Inc. is a chemical plant in Piedmont, SC, operating as a custom chemical manufacturer that partners with customers to move products from lab scale to pilot to full commercialization. The company works with acrylic solutions and emulsions, polyurethanes and dispersions, and other specialty chemical and polymer needs, serving markets that include personal care, cosmetics, coatings, adhesives, graphic arts, and electronics. Ortec holds a rating of 4.00 from the customers who have reviewed it. Ortec's technical team takes products from the lab into the manufacturing environment, and its facilities are dedicated to cGMP manufacturing for materials going into pharmaceuticals, medical devices, excipients, bioabsorbable products, hygienic products, cosmetics, and nutritional additives. The company offers analytical capabilities alongside research, pilot work, and full commercial manufacturing, and can provide an ISO 8 environment, USP/EP Water, or dedicated equipment. Ortec operates four plants with more than 300 employees, and its professional chemists and staff engineers bring decades of combined industry experience. Each customer is assigned a technical Project Steward and a Customer Service Representative, and the company does not manufacture its own product lines that might compete with its customers. The Piedmont location sits on Old Pelzer Rd, about 0.4 miles from Piedmont Highway and roughly 1.3 miles from the Southern Connector. The Willow Grove and Chesterfield Estates neighborhoods are within about half a mile, Bessie Road is about 1.3 miles away, and Lakeview Golf Club is about 1.1 miles from the site. Founded by Dr. Larry Brotherton, who earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry and started the custom synthesis company in 1980, Ortec has grown from early work with the textile industry into a manufacturer with facilities in North America and Europe. The Piedmont site was established for dedicated cGMP processes and has since added a Class 100,000 (ISO 8) clean room, two additional ISO 8 clean rooms, development and analytical lab space, medical device material manufacturing space, temperature controlled warehousing, and new laboratories and offices.
