Kerecis is pioneering the use of fish skin and fatty-acids in the cellular therapy and regenerative medicine market.
About us
Kerecis was founded by Fertram Sigurjonsson around the concept of using fish skin to heal damaged tissue. The company is pioneering the use of fish skin and fatty acids in the globally expanding cellular therapy and regenerative medicine market. The fatty-acid rich (including Omega3) products from the company's patented technologies enable the body to regenerate tissues, rather than simply repair them and risk scarring. The Kerecis products are used to regenerate tissue in trauma and chronic wounds such as burns and diabetic wounds. Kerecis is also developing products for areas such as oral surgery, plastic surgery and neurological applications. The vision of Kerecis is to extend human life by supporting the body’s own ability to regenerate. The Kerecis mission is to become the world leader in regenerating damage of the human body by sustainably harnessing nature’s own remedies. In August 2023 Kerecis became Iceland’s first Unicorn when it sold to the Danish company Coloplast for $1.3 Billion.

Happy Earth Day 2024! 🌍✨ Today, we're focused on the ocean—a vital source of nourishment and inspiration for Iceland since its settlement in 874. The sea provides the raw materials for our pioneering medical products, which are made of fish skin. Gently processing them for doctors to help patients fight wounds and burns - they're an embodiment of nature-driven innovation🌊 This Earth Day, we reflect on our recent beach cleanup, where we removed over 700kg of marine debris. Our small contribution is important as marine conservation is deeply significant for life on Earth 🗑♻️ As committed members of the United Nations Global Compact Initiative, we strive to uphold environmental sustainability, human rights, and ethical business practices. We encourage you to do the same, and we'd love to see your actions to celebrate Earth Day!! Share your stories and photos in the comments below. Let's make every day Earth Day! #EarthDay2024 #SustainableHealing #OceanConservation #UNGlobalCompact
