Allmicroalgae set to double output of algae-based ingredients

摘要

As consumer demand for healthy, highly sustainable and natural ingredients is steadily on the increase, Allmicroalgae has unveiled ambitious expansion plans. As a result, by 2022 a nominal production capacity of 120 tonnes raw materials per year is expected -meaning an increase of more than 50% of current capacities and even a doubling compared to the initial volume. The growth plans include the installation of a second fermenter, which will be key in helping to achieve nominal production capacity of 120 tonnes a year by 2022, and further improve on the firm's already competitive lead times. It is also planning to expand its capabilities to produce specific species tailor-made to customer requirements for different market sectors: Allmicroalgae's algae species Nannochloropsis oceanica, Chlorella vulgaris, Tetraselmis chuii, Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Scenedesmus sp., are high-quality sources of macro- and micronutrients with valuable nutritional profiles, and a wide range of functionalities. This makes them ideal not just for use in food supplements targeted at the sport and fitness sectors, but also feed and cosmetic applications.
