Alpro Soya Unsweetened drink

Alpro is a pioneering European brand in the plant-based food industry, established in 1980 in Wevelgem, Belgium. Originally founded as a subsidiary of the Vandemoortele Group, it focused on creating high-quality dairy alternatives. The specific product identified by the barcode is the Alpro Soya Unsweetened drink, a staple in their extensive portfolio of plant-based milks, yogurts, and desserts.

In terms of manufacturing, Alpro operates multiple key production facilities across Europe to meet regional demand. Its primary sites are located in Wevelgem (Belgium), Issenheim (France), and Kettering (United Kingdom). This distributed manufacturing model allows the brand to maintain efficiency and a lower carbon footprint within its primary European markets.

The brand has seen several ownership changes over the decades. In 2009, it was acquired by the American company Dean Foods, and later became part of WhiteWave Foods when that division was spun off. In 2017, the French multinational Danone acquired WhiteWave Foods for approximately $12.5 billion, making Danone the ultimate owner of Alpro. Today, Alpro is a core component of Danone's global plant-based division, continuing its mission of promoting sustainable, plant-centric diets.
