Algalif´s current production capability is 1.500 kg of pure Natural Astaxanthin annually. After the expansion, the yearly production will be 5.000 kg of pure astaxanthin. Thereby, Algalif will be the world’s biggest producer of Natural Astaxanthin from microalgae. The company only uses green geothermal energy and pristine natural Icelandic water.  

The new plant will also make Algalif the most sustainable, and most technically advanced Natural Astaxanthin producer in the world. This is in accordance with Algalif´s goals to be a leader in sustainability and quality in the microalgae business, as well as a reliable supplier of Natural Astaxanthin at a competitive price.
