Alpro

A Leader in the Field of Plant-based Foods

...

Alpro is a pioneer in the field of 100 percent vegetarian products in Europe. As early as 1980, the company introduced a comprehensive assortment of food products to the German market that are purely plant-based. With its modern and vast product palette, Alpro managed to become the European market leader for soy-based products in a very short space of time. Though it began as a range of soy-based products, Alpro has expanded to offer a wide assortment of other plant-based foods (such as rice, oats, almonds, coconut and hazelnuts) over the last few years. Their products include refreshing drinks, soy-based yoghurt and quark alternatives, desserts and creams used in cooking, all the way to savory spreads.
