Cyanotech expands Astaxanthin production capacity
Responding to increased market demand for its natural Astaxanthin, Cyanotech Corporation has confirmed a 33% expansion of Astaxanthin capacity at its production facility at Kona, Hawaii.
Demand for Astaxanthin has increased steadily in the supplement industry this year.
Brent Bailey, president and CEO of Cyanotech, said: “With our Astaxanthin sales almost doubling since January, we have ramped up production and are realising record yields month after month. In addition, we are adding 33% more Astaxanthin capacity, which should be fully on line in six months.
“We want to be sure we have capacity to fill the needs of all our customers in a timely manner, and be sure that all the consumers who want to try this exceptional nutrient can get it.”
Bailey added: “We’ve been able to benefit from this recognition because Cyanotech has the world’s largest production capacity and we had excellent inventory levels coming into this period of increased demand in January.”
