History
Founding and Early History
The Isla Nublar Incident
The Verge of Chapter 11
Pillaging the Lost World
Under the newfound leadership of Peter Ludlow, the InGen Harvesters were formed and immediately set out on an expedition to Isla Sorna to recover animals for the park in San Diego.

Facilities
InGen Waterfront Complex
The InGen Waterfront Complex in San Diego operates as the company's headquarters. It boasts both administration and laboratory facilities. The dock area was heavily damaged during the 1997 San Diego Incident.
Jurassic Park: San Diego
Built during the 1980s, Jurassic Park: San Diego was intended to be InGen's first theme park showcasing genetically engineered dinosaurs. It was later abandoned in favour of the Isla Nublar Park. The project was later resurrected by Peter Ludlow in 1996 as a means to revive an ailing InGen but due to the San Diego Incident was again abandoned.
Isla Nublar
The Costa Rican Island of Isla Nublar was leased by InGen in 1987 for expansion of the Jurassic Park Project. During an inspection intended to quell worrisome investors, the park's automated systems were sabotaged causing a number of deaths and eventually leading to the abandonment of the park. After InGen was acquired by Masrani Global in 1998, the island was resecured and in 2002 construction began on Jurassic World. The theme park opened in 2005.
Isla Sorna
Isla Sorna is InGen's second Costa Rican island. Referred to as Site B, it was used as the 'factory floor' for InGen's research and development. In 1994, Hurricane Clarissa wiped out InGen's facility on the island forcing them to evacuate. The animals in captivity were released into the wild to mature on their own and formed a prehistoric ecosystem on the island. Following the outing of the island's existence to the public in 1997, it has been under the protection of the Costa Rican Department of Biological Preserves.
Martel
Construction on InGen's Siberian facility began in 2012 and was completed in November 2014. The facility opened under the name Martel, it's purpose: to find organic remains dating from 40,000 to 200,00 years old. It is believed that the facility is situated over the remains of a group of wooly mammoths, buried under the permafrost. Upon opening, Martel commenced an 18 month drilling plan at 42 glacial ice locations. The facility is staffed by a rotating research team of nine scientists and an excavation crew of 45 persons.
