What Algamo does
Algamo s.r.o. is a Czech privately held biotechnology company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Mostek, in the foothills of the Krkonoše Mountains National Park. The company cultivates the freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis in closed photobioreactors under fully controlled conditions — from the first cell to final processing — to produce natural astaxanthin. Algamo applies proprietary, patent-protected extraction methods including supercritical fluid extraction and liposomal encapsulation, and holds the EU Organic certification that it claims makes it the only astaxanthin producer worldwide to carry this designation, alongside COSMOS, Vegan, Halal, ISO 22000, and ISO 9001 certifications.
The company's commercial offering spans wholesale raw materials (dry algae powder at 5%, oleoresin at 5% and 10%, liposomal CWD at 1%, and microencapsulated CWD at 2.5%) supplied to dietary supplement, cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical manufacturers in bulk packaging, as well as a growing portfolio of finished consumer products including BIO Vegan 8mg capsules, softgels, Astaxanthin + CBD, Eye Health, Beauty Fuel, cardiovascular-support formulations, BIO Astaxanthin drops, and prebiotic cacao sticks. Revenue is generated through a multi-channel model: B2B wholesale, private label/OEM manufacturing, regional distributor partnerships in the Czech Republic, France, and South Korea, and direct e-commerce retail. The company is led by Company Director Otto Dobřichovský and operates with a workforce in the 11-50 range.
