Danish food-tech company Aliga Microalgae purchased Duplaco’s microalgae production facility in the Netherlands in order to increase its production capacity of Chlorella algae products for the food ingredients and dietary supplement markets.
The Facility
Duplaco B.V. defaulted in June 2022 leaving one of Europe’s most modern microalgae production facilities behind. The facility, including IP and customer stock, was purchased by Aliga Microalgae who is specialising in cultivating, producing and commercialising algae ingredients. The purchase is a part of Aliga’s scaling strategy to increase the company’s production capacity and secure the supply-chain of its proprietary white Chlorella ingredient, which will enable the company to meet the growing demands from manufactures of vegan-, plantbased- and analogue food products globally. Additionally, the purchase will strengthen Aliga’s position as one of the leading producers of high-quality Chlorella algae products for the European dietary supplement markets.
