Material properties
We check each polymer’s properties and processing methods, then set development specifications for the intended use.
GLOONE / SINCE 2011
Biodegradable polymer manufacturing
GLOONE has researched and processed biodegradable polymers since its founding in 2011. We now operate the Materials, Medical devices and Aesthetics divisions. Material properties, product form and production conditions are reviewed against each client’s target specifications.

PLLAOUR MATERIAL FOUNDATION
03BUSINESS DIVISIONS
Polymer processing technology
Technology gained from processing absorbable plates and screws, as well as polymer filaments, is the basis of our PLLA microsphere development. Even with the same polymer, each application calls for a different form and different manufacturing requirements.
Form & dimensions
We define the structure and dimensions of filaments, particles and molded products, then evaluate them through prototypes.
Process conditions
We align molds, equipment and process conditions to move prototypes into manufacturing.
OBSERVE / TEST / MAKE
From research to the process of making products
Materials were analyzed, samples processed, and results examined through testing and observation. Records from different periods show how GLOONE approaches research and development.

Research and manufacturing teams
Materials research, product development, production and quality staff coordinate around the same product specifications. Where development requires it, we seek advice from specialists in the relevant field.
Jong Soon Park · CEO
Jong Soo Park · Research Director
Materials, medical devices, aesthetics
Separate divisions handle material development, medical device manufacturing and aesthetics product planning.
Materials division
Based at the Eumseong materials site, develops and supplies polymer materials, microspheres, polymer filaments and PCL filament for 3D printing.
MaterialsMedical devices division
Develops and manufactures medical devices, including GLOSORB absorbable plates and screws, and manages quality and supply for each product.
Medical devicesAesthetics division
Handles product planning and launch preparation for COG sutures, fillers, skin boosters and cosmetics. Planning draws on development know-how from the Materials division and the OEM/ODM team.
