What Aromtech does

Aromtech Ltd is a Finland-based, privately held ingredient manufacturer founded in the 1990s and headquartered in Tornio (Lapland). The company operates a vertically integrated supercritical CO2 extraction facility that processes over 250 tons of berry raw materials annually and spans production, laboratory, quality assurance, R&D, and storage on a single site. Its core technology is Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE), an aseptic, chemical-free, and effluent-free process that preserves delicate fatty acids and fat-soluble nutrients without thermal or oxidative stress.

Aromtech's portfolio includes proprietary branded ingredients such as SBA24® (clinically proven sea buckthorn oil), BC634® (blackcurrant seed oil), LBA50™ (lingonberry seed oil), ArctiCare® (cosmetic oils), and TruArctic™ (water-soluble actives). These are sold to nutraceutical, cosmetic, food, and medical device manufacturers globally, alongside a contract manufacturing service leveraging experience with ~100 different natural raw materials. The company directly serves B2B customers in nutraceuticals and uses a global distributor network for cosmetic oils, with exclusive distribution rights being actively offered for SBA24® to selected partners.

Aromtech monetizes through three distinct revenue streams: B2B ingredient sales, contract manufacturing services, and direct-to-consumer sales of finished products under its owned brands Membrasin (with Moisture, Vision, and Dermal sub-lines), BerryOMG, and Omega7. Consumer products are sold through brand-specific e-commerce websites, with pricing ranging from €15.90 to €33.90 per unit. The company holds a comprehensive regulatory certification stack including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 13485, US FDA GMP, HACCP, EU cosmetic regulation compliance, organic certification, and EcoVadis sustainability assessment.
