FMC and DUPONT are now jointly running the operation for the production of Alginate from seaweed on the Norwegian coast.
The only facility that can and does produce alginate is at haugesund – weather it is owned by fmc/dupont or not is not an issue – it is there to exploit our very valuable and sensitive seaweed beds.

Seems that at last the gloves have come off.
