We develop, produce and scale microalgae.
In Dresden, we cultivate spirulina in our own closed photobioreactors, harvest it fresh and support our customers all the way to a market-ready recipe – technology, production, quality and application from a single source.
We don’t say ‘climate-neutral’. We show figures.
Evidence, not claims
Key figures per kilogram of ingredient, with source and system boundary. Every batch documented.
Fresh, not dried
Whole biomass, undried and pure, without additives. The ingredients list reads: spirulina.
Taste first
Mild in taste. Strong on the plate. An ingredient for everyday and signature dishes.
