Arramara Teoranta is a semi-state body with the Irish Government holding 82% of company shares, the other 18% being owned by ISP Alginates, one of the world's major alginate companies, with plants in Scotland and California.
The company was founded in 1947 to utilise the large resource of seaweed along the west coast of Ireland. Our production facility is based in Kilkieran, Connemara. Arramara initially supplied seaweed meal to the alginate industry, but the increase in demand for seaweed meal in recent years has opened markets in the agriculture, horticulture and cosmetic industries. |
