Iberagar is Portugal´s leading company engaged in the manufacture and distribution of hydrocolloids derived from seaweeds. Iberagar was created by the merger of two companies, Biomar and AGC, and was established shortly after World War II. In 1970 Iberagar acquired a Japanese company, Unialgas, and transferred its operations to the plant in Barreiro, 30 km from Lisbon. The first product manufactured was agar-agar for use in the food industry, microbiology and molecular biology. In the early 1980s Iberagar began to extend production into a range of carrageenans. It is now one of the world’s most specialized marine hydrocolloid companies, and one of a very small number producing both agar and carrageenan. Since the beginning Iberagar has made a commitment to innovation and process development in order to maintain its leadership position. At the end of the 1990s the Research and Development team became involved in the field of agarose production for molecular biology applications.
