Sirputis: From Engineering Roots to Scalable Seaweed Solutions
2026-02-18
For many seaweed initiatives, the greatest challenge is not ambition, biology, or market demand, it is the transition from promising pilot projects to reliable, industrial-scale operations. This is precisely where Sirputis positions itself.
Founded by CEO Morten Kroslid and CTO Jonas Kamasauskas, Sirputis brings together strong industrial engineering expertise and a deep understanding of the seaweed sector. What began as a metal manufacturing company has evolved into a focused mission: to design and build the systems that enable seaweed cultivation and processing to scale efficiently, responsibly, and reliably.
Engineering Across the Full Seaweed Value Chain
Sirputis develops customized equipment and fully integrated systems that support the entire seaweed value chain, from seeding and cultivation to harvesting, processing, and advanced biorefining.
Each solution is co-designed around the client’s unique operational context. Species, biomass volumes, geographic conditions, end-market requirements, and regulatory frameworks all shape how a system must perform. Sirputis translates these variables into robust production lines that are tested with real seaweed during both Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT).
The company’s portfolio includes:
Fresh and dry seaweed pre-processing lines
Conveyor and handling systems
Size reduction and biomass conditioning equipment
Extraction and processing systems
Dedicated solutions for biostimulant, alginate, and fucoidan production
Rather than delivering isolated machinery, Sirputis engineers complete, process-oriented systems built for real operational environments.
From Sea to Shore: Engineered Cultivation and Harvest Solutions
Scaling seaweed operations requires more than equipment, it requires system thinking.
Sirputis works closely with seaweed farmers, processors, extraction companies, research institutes, and industrial partners. A recurring focus in their projects is enabling capital expenditure (CAPEX) reduction through blended finance strategies, supporting the development of technology at true industrial scale.
Many initiatives successfully prove the biological viability of seaweed cultivation. However, the technical infrastructure often lags behind when larger volumes are introduced. Scaling is not simply about increasing size, it demands consistency, process integration, operational efficiency, and long-term reliability.
By designing complete systems rather than standalone machines, Sirputis reduces technical risk and supports the transition from pilot-scale operations to commercially viable production.
From fresh biomass to valuable resources engineered processing solutions.
From Fresh Biomass to High-Value Resources
Sirputis transforms fresh seaweed biomass into valuable market-ready outputs through engineered processing solutions designed for performance and precision.
A Shared Vision for the Blue Economy
Sustainability is embedded in how Sirputis designs its solutions. The company co-designs processes around each client’s unique operational case and has extensive experience across food, feed, biostimulant, alginate, and fucoidan applications. Efficient processing, reduced waste streams, chemical-free processing options, and long-term operational reliability all contribute to minimizing environmental impact while strengthening economic performance.
Sirputis’ mission is to empower seaweed companies with technology that supports people, planet, and prosperity, enabling seaweed to become a reliable pillar of the blue economy.
The company encourages ESWA members engaged in seaweed cultivation, processing, or scaling challenges to get in touch. Whether the need involves feasibility studies, system design, custom-engineered machinery, or the transition from pilot to industrial operations, the Sirputis team is ready to explore how advanced engineering can support the next stage of growth.
