Alpro plant-based drinks and food

Alpro is a leading European brand specializing in plant-based food and drink products, notably soy, almond, oat, and coconut-based milks, yogurts, and desserts. Founded in Belgium in 1980, the company was a pioneer in the plant-based movement, aiming to create sustainable and healthy alternatives to traditional dairy.

Over the decades, Alpro underwent several ownership changes as the market for meat and dairy alternatives surged. It was acquired by the American company WhiteWave Foods, which was later purchased by the French food conglomerate Danone in 2017. This acquisition integrated Alpro into Danone's Essential Dairy and Plant-Based (EDP) division, significantly expanding its global distribution and research capabilities.

Manufacturing for Alpro products takes place in several key European locations to minimize its carbon footprint while meeting high demand. Major production facilities are located in Wevelgem, Belgium; Kettering, United Kingdom; and Issenheim, France. The brand remains a cornerstone of Danone's commitment to sustainable nutrition and plant-based innovation.
