What NEW HORIZONS GLOBAL LIMITED does

New Horizons Global Limited is a privately held, Belfast-based ingredient producer that develops a DHA-rich algal omega-3 sourced from microalgae for use in food, beverage, supplement, and medical food formulations. The company's core product is positioned as a sustainable, non-marine alternative to fish-oil-derived DHA: production is fermentation-based, avoids solvents, requires no heavy metal or PCB removal steps, and yields a non-GMO ingredient with a cleaner taste profile. Manufacturing is conducted in Europe to FSSC 22000 quality standards, and the product carries EFSA approval for the European market and GRAS notification in the United States, giving it regulatory access to the two largest regulated omega-3 markets.

The business operates a B2B ingredient sales model, selling the algal DHA as a bulk input to formulators rather than directly to consumers. Prospective customers contact the company via a single email inbox ([email protected]) to express buying interest, and no public pricing, distribution agreements, or named customer accounts have been disclosed. The company is currently small (1–10 employees) and is updating its website ahead of what it describes as an "exciting" forthcoming announcement, suggesting the product is moving from development toward a broader commercial launch. No funding rounds, management team, or partnership disclosures are available in the input data, which constrains the visibility of its commercial traction to date.

Direct peers

• Royal DSM (Algal Omega-3 heritage brand - life'sDHA OMEGA-3): Legacy standalone reference for DSM's Martek-derived life'sDHA product family, the original major commercial algal DHA ingredient brand. Served as the template against which New Horizons Global's positioning (algal, sustainable, EFSA/GRAS, food/beverage/supplement/medical food applications) is articulated.
• DSM-Firmenich (Martek life'sDHA): Global leader in algal DHA via its Martek life'sDHA franchise, the dominant incumbent supplying DHA-rich oil from microalgae into infant formula, food, beverage, and supplement manufacturers worldwide. Directly comparable product, customer base, and regulatory positioning, but at massively greater scale and sales coverage.
• KD Pharma Group: Specialist omega-3 ingredient manufacturer (fish and algal oils) supplying EPA/DHA concentrates to the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. Closely comparable in product, regulatory profile (GOED membership, pharma-grade oils), and B2B ingredient model.
• Corbion: Dutch specialty food ingredients company that markets AlgaeOmega, an algal DHA ingredient targeting food and supplement applications. Closely comparable in technology (microalgae-derived DHA), customer verticals, and B2B ingredient positioning.
• Aker BioMarine: Norwegian supplier of omega-3 ingredients (Superba krill oil and through partnerships, microalgae-derived DHA) into supplement and functional food manufacturers. Directly comparable B2B ingredient model and target customers, with alternative sustainable-marine sourcing narrative.

Broad incumbents

• Stepan Lipid Nutrition: US-based lipid ingredient supplier producing omega-3 oils (including algal-source options) for nutritional and functional food applications. Overlaps with New Horizons Global on product format (refined omega-3 oils) and target customer segments, but within a broader surfactant and specialty chemicals portfolio.
• Croda International: UK-listed specialty ingredients company supplying lipid nutrition, including omega-3 PUFAs and high-purity DHA, into supplement, infant nutrition, and personal care manufacturers. Comparable customer base and end-markets but as part of a broad specialty chemicals portfolio.
• BASF: Through its Nutrition & Health division (formerly Cognis), BASF supplies DHA-rich oils to the food, beverage, and supplement industry, including algal-source options. Overlaps in product and customer base but as part of a much broader nutrition and chemicals portfolio.
• Archer Daniels Midland (ADM): Global nutrition and agri-processing major with a substantial plant- and algae-based omega-3 ingredient portfolio through its Nutrition division. Sells DHA into food, beverage, and supplement manufacturers and overlaps with New Horizons Global on customer verticals, though within a much larger portfolio.
