Kelpak is manufactured from the kelp species Ecklonia maxima, which grows only in the clean, cold waters off the Atlantic Coast of Southern Africa. The nutrient rich Benguela current provides perfect conditions for the rapid growth of these giant kelp forests.

Due to the dangerous conditions as well as the sensitive ecology which thrives in these Kelp forests, divers harvest by hand.

Using a strip rotational program ensures a uniform age and size of the raw material, ultimately resulting in consistent activity levels in the end product

Once ashore the harvested Kelp is immediately transferred to the Kelpak production facility to ensure a fresh raw material for processing.
