(Nasdaq: BVS) (“Bioventus” or the “Company”), a global leader in innovations for active healing, has signed a lease agreement to double its current operations and manufacturing space and relocate from its current facility in suburban Memphis. Bioventus expects to move its 116 employees into the new space in early Q3 of 2022 and add another 40 jobs in the next five years.

The current location began operations in 2012 and the new facility will be located at 7101 Goodlett Farms Parkway in Cordova, TN. It includes approximately 90,000 total square feet of space and will feature approximately 55,000 square feet dedicated to light manufacturing and operations.
