What Seamore Holding does

Seamore Holding BV is a Dutch private limited company, founded in 2013 by Willem Sodderland and headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The company develops and sells a portfolio of four consumer food products made from wild, organic Himanthalia (sea spaghetti) seaweed crowd-harvested in Connemara, Ireland: Seaweed Chips (35% seaweed content, three flavors), Seaweed Wraps, I sea Pasta (marketed as a low-carb, iodine- and omega-3-rich pasta alternative), and I sea Bacon (a fried seaweed bacon substitute). The business operates as a brand under parent company de Smaakspecialist, which functions as the primary wholesale distributor. Seamore's core technology is the specialized processing and culinary formulation of wild-harvested seaweed into familiar, everyday food formats.

Seamore's revenue model is straightforward consumer packaged goods: one-time product sales through three distribution channels — the parent distributor de Smaakspecialist (retail/wholesale), the online marketplace Foodshop.bio (with a 10% newsletter-discount incentive), and the company's own direct e-commerce site. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base is composed primarily of health-conscious consumers and vegan/plant-based eaters in the Netherlands and broader EU, with a secondary foodservice/hospitality segment indicated by recipe and chef content. Marketing is content-led, anchored by a library of 100+ recipes, branded social hashtags, and a multi-platform social presence across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

Operationally, Seamore is a sub-scale CPG brand with 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no reported revenue, and no disclosed certifications or patents. The company has received multiple food innovation awards (World Food Innovation Awards, Superior Taste Award, Sigep Next Award, NextFood Award, Judges' Choice, Packaging Award) supporting brand credibility. The business is structured as a brand within de Smaakspecialist, and Seamore's growth and distribution are tightly coupled to its parent.

Broad incumbents

• Annie Chun's: Established Asian-inspired packaged food brand with seaweed snacks, noodles, and wraps in mainstream grocery; broader portfolio but overlaps directly with Seamore's seaweed chips and wraps.
