Description:
We are a seaweed processing company based on the west coast of Ireland. We are headed by ex-CEO of the national seaweed processing company and ex-head of research of the Irish Seaweed Centre. We have extensive experience in sourcing, processing, selling seaweed and seaweed extracts. Our company will extract high value ingredients from red, brown and green seaweeds for sale into functional food and cosmetic sectors. We have carried out R&D in the past year with excellent results. We are patenting our products and process. Our sample product is used by University as standard. We have spent EUR200000 already on R&D and equipment. We require EUR200,000 investment for remainder of equipment and initial working capital. We already have purchase orders from customers. Expect production by September 2008.
