Algea AS

Info

Algea is a world leader in the production of seaweed-based products.

Historie

Algea was founded in 1937 thanks to a strong intuition about the potential of using seaweed for nutrition. This is how a pioneering activity began at the extreme northern latitudes of Norway and just beyond the boundaries of the Arctic Circle, where the ecosystem is still intact and uncontaminated by human presence. Here, for over 70 years, Algea has been collecting and processing seaweed which is unique in the world, using a process that preserves the incredibly characteristics of the seaweed and is of minimum environmental impact. This is how Algea skilfully transforms the seaweed into an ingredient for products for human nutrition, animal nutrition, cosmetics and fertilization.

"The history of our company begins long before the actual founding of Algea.It starts in Norway with the traditional use of seaweed for animal and vegetable nutrition, an ancient practice that involves adding seaweed to animal feeds or scattering it over cultivated land.As a matter of fact, growing in the land of the midnight sun, the seaweed, exposed to extreme environmental conditions of both winter frost and light during the summer months, naturally develops and accumulates some important chemical compounds.This gave an idea to entrepreneur Haakon Torgesen, who decided to found a company dedicated to seaweed processing. Algea Produkter AS was founded in 1937."
