Seaweed sourcing and initial extraction in Vietnam, production and quality control in Italy. How we oversee every step of the agar value chain.
Quality agar starts long before production. At B&V we oversee every step of the agar value chain, across our two production sites.
In Vietnam
From our Hai Phong site, near Ha Long Bay, we coordinate seaweed purchasing and the initial steps of agar extraction, close to the raw material.
In Italy
At our main plant in Gattatico, near Parma, we produce, test, blend, pack and ship to customers in more than 70 countries.
A global network
To meet each customer’s needs, we also work with selected partners worldwide, so we can always source the most suitable raw material for the final application.
