Alpro plant-based milk and dairy alternatives

Alpro is a pioneering European brand specializing in plant-based food and beverages manufactured from soy, almonds, hazelnuts, cashew, rice, oats, and coconut. Founded in 1980 in Belgium, the brand quickly became a market leader by focusing on sustainable, non-dairy alternatives that cater to vegans and those with lactose intolerance. Its primary production facilities are located in Belgium, the United Kingdom, and France, though its global reach extends across the continent and beyond.

Over the decades, Alpro has transitioned through different corporate structures to match its growth. It was originally part of the Vandemoortele Group before being acquired by WhiteWave Foods. In a significant industry shift in 2017, Danone acquired WhiteWave Foods, bringing Alpro under its expansive corporate umbrella. Today, Alpro operates as a key component of Danone’s plant-based division, reflecting the global shift toward more sustainable and health-conscious dietary patterns while maintaining its heritage as a European plant-based pioneer.
