Strict quality for constant performance
We rely on natural resources for our raw materials. Before processing in our plants, all materials used in production are selected under strict quality controls.
Seaweeds
All types of red seaweeds, grown in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, are used to produce carrageenans. Various types of brown seaweed, sourced in France, Peru and Chile, are used for the production of alginates.
