Low-sodium salt maker Microsalt has nearly tripled its revenues after major international suppliers took interest in its salt-cutting technology in 2025.
Revenues at the AIM-listed company jumped 280% to $2.1m (£1.6m) last year, as it secured recurring purchase orders for its bulk products across multiple food categories. The company now expects to turn over $4.5m in 2026 through orders for its patented salt containing 50% less sodium than traditional salt crystals.
CEO Rick Guiney said he was “extremely encouraged” by the products’ expanding acceptance among global food manufacturers.
“MicroSalt’s strong progress is clearly demonstrated by the significant revenue growth achieved during 2025, momentum that we expect to accelerate further throughout 2026, 2027, and beyond,” he said.
“The successful reformulation work completed with several of the world’s leading snack food brands provides the Company with increasing confidence in long-term revenue and commercial expansion.”
Higher revenues and improved operational efficiencies helped Microsalt cut its net losses to $3.2m from $5.8m. A pair of equity fundraises made in the year raised $5.6m, helping Microsalt build up inventory and maintain R&D spend.
The company said a “key milestone” was achieved in late 2025 when it established a repeat revenue stream from “one of the world’s most iconic international snack brands” in partnership with a leading global supplier and an international seasonings company.
While Microsalt did not name any of its customers, it said it had seen increasing demand from ‘Customer 1’ – the Mexican division of one of the world’s largest beverage and snack companies – equating to $1.2m in orders. The unnamed giant’s Canadian and US operations have also now put in orders.
Microsalt said the Customer 1’s North American business unit now plans to roll out products using its technology in late 2026, with projected volumes expected to grow to $2.6m in 2026 and $8m in 2027.
The company has continued to push money into R&D efforts, and last year rolled out Microsalt Fibre, the “next iteration” of the brand. Tapping into trends for fibre fortification as consumers become more aware of gut Health, and GLP-1 drugs necessitate higher fibre intake, the product uses dietary fibre as the carrier for its tiny salt particles.
Microsalt floated on London’s junior market in early 2024 with a market cap of £18.5m.
