Seaweed Enterprises

We provide a range of seaweeds in their natural state, harvested by hand, inspected and dried to perfection - or blended or smoked to serve those with a desire to try and enrich their diet with this incredibly nutritious sea-vegetable. We have applications across sector, from nutraceuticals to pharma, to skincare and agri-business and each sector has a need we can help fulfill. What sets us apart is our investment in market-leading washing, chopping, drying and milling equipment, which could make us the envy of the markets, as we look to support the sector as a whole. We came into being on 1st August 2023 but have years of collective experience already. Our website launches soon, as will more content and copy available online.
