Kuehnle Agrosystems (KAS) specializes in the production of high-value natural products derived from microalgae, primarily targeting the food, feed, and health industries. Their lead product, astaxanthin, is produced through a patented 'dark fermentation' process that significantly accelerates production time from weeks to just a few days. This innovative method not only reduces production costs by up to 90% but also minimizes the environmental impact by lowering the requirements for land, water, and energy. KAS's approach exemplifies a commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices while delivering affordable, high-quality algal products.

The company is actively seeking commercial partners to expand the reach of its technologies and products. With a strong leadership team that includes experts in algae and biomass, regulatory affairs, and financial management, KAS is well-positioned to transform the microalgae market. Their focus on collaboration aims to leverage the unique advantages of dark fermentation, enhancing the potential applications of their algal products across various sectors, including nutraceuticals, cosmetics, functional foods, and aquaculture.
