Primex EHF

Primex EHF is an Icelandic marine biotech company and a global leader in the manufacture and supply of pure chitin and chitosan derivatives.

Primex was born out of the desire to develop and supply scientifically sound and novel natural ingredients for use in numerous markets like, nutritional, cosmetic, food and biomedical sectors. Being located in Iceland, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean’s pristine waters, gives Primex access to rich plant and animal life, such as North Atlantic Coldwater Shrimps (Pandalus Borealis), an important raw material for high quality chitosan.

Since 1999, Primex has been running a state of the art production facilities for chitin and chitosan in Siglufjordur Iceland, allowing the company to supply product quality all year around.
