BGG World (BGG; Irvine, CA) and its subsidiary Algae Health Sciences (AHS) completed an expansion of its 100% glass-tube photobioreactor microalgae farm, doubling its production capacity which is now the largest astaxanthin farm in the world. The adjacent land that BGG has first-right-of-refusal to acquire will be utilized for future expansions.

“At BGG, we never want to leave any customer with unfulfilled or late orders, and we rarely do,” said Chunhua Li, chairman and founder of BGG World, in a press release. “This expansion of capacity for our flagship AstaZine Natural Astaxanthin product line should keep our customers happy and their orders filled into the second half of this decade.”

BGG Americas and Algae Health Sciences CEO Bob Capelli, said in a press release: “We not only continue to lead the astaxanthin market with ongoing clinical research, but we back that up with capacity expansions to consistently stay ahead of demand. Having worked in the astaxanthin business for the last twenty years, I’ve never seen any producer react as quickly to market needs.”
