DN Group AG: Algene subsidiary receives GMP certification for the cosmetics and food industries

• Processes and production facilities comply with DIN standards and meet the high quality and hygiene standards of the food and cosmetics industries
• Industrial-scale production scalability confirmed

Frankfurt am Main, July 20, 2026 – DN Group AG (ISIN: DE000A3DW408) reports on recent developments regarding its investee, Algene Holding SE (“Algene”). Algene has received GMP (“Good Manufacturing Practice”) certification from Quantum Quality GmbH following the successful completion of a comprehensive quality audit based on the DIN standard (DIN EN ISO 22716:2007). Consequently, Algene’s product manufacturing, processes, hygiene measures, and production facilities meet all requirements for producing microalgae for the highly regulated cosmetics and food industries. The audit process also confirmed that Algene is capable of producing microalgae on an industrial and commercial scale.

Algene has already harvested high-purity microalgae on an industrial scale for the first time, achieving a yield of 4,500 liters (see corporate news dated July 13, 2026). The DN Group portfolio company is currently in advanced partnership talks with prominent customers in the cosmetics industry.

Ole Nixdorff, CEO of DN Group: “With the GMP certification, a key regulatory prerequisite for the industrial production and marketing of our high-purity microalgae is now in place. Algene is thus in a position to supply major players in the cosmetics and food industries and thereby participate in the rapidly growing microalgae market.”
