Aliga Microalgae is a Danish food-tech company focused on developing, cultivating, producing, and commercialising algae-based ingredients for food, feed, and dietary supplement applications. The company centres its business on Chlorella microalgae and positions itself as a supplier of functional, protein-rich, plant-based ingredients that can help manufacturers improve nutrition, support clean-label and vegan claims, and broaden formulation options. Aliga operates production facilities in Denmark and the Netherlands and says it is one of Europe’s leading microalgae producers, with industrial-scale heterotrophic production and a customer base in 24 countries. Its market positioning combines sustainability, reliable supply, and product innovation, including proprietary white Chlorella designed to overcome traditional taste and colour limitations in algae ingredients. Core Values Sustainability : Aliga presents algae as a highly sustainable crop and emphasises low-emission production, reduced land use, and lower freshwater demand compared with conventional crops. Quality and reliability : The company stresses integrated quality assurance and controls across the full production chain, from strain selection to shipping, to ensure consistent supply and product safety. Innovation : Aliga invests in R&D, selective propagation, and product development to create new algae ingredients, including neutral-tasting white Chlorella that expands application possibilities. Health and nutrition : Its products are positioned around natural nutrition, protein richness, and functional benefits for humans and animals alike. Unique Aspects Proprietary white Chlorella : Aliga has developed a chlorophyll-free, neutral-tasting white Chlorella through selective propagation and random mutagenesis, enabling use in applications where traditional algae would be difficult to formulate. Industrial-scale European production : The company says it is one of the largest heterotrophic Chlorella producers in Europe, with controlled fermenter-based production in Denmark and the Netherlands. Duplaco acquisition : In August 2022, Aliga acquired Duplaco’s microalgae production facility in the Netherlands, including its product portfolio and material rights, to expand capacity and strengthen its position in European markets. Broad market reach : Aliga reports serving customers in 24 countries across food, feed, and supplement markets, giving it a wide commercial footprint for a specialised algae producer. Recognised industry profile : The company says it is listed in the FoodTech 500 and has received external attention for its white Chlorella innovation and broader algae work.
