About Alpina Bio Ingredients
We are a Swiss wholesale distributor of low-glycemic organic sweeteners and dietary fibers. This page describes who we are, how we work, and what we do not do.
What we supply
A focused portfolio, designed for production
We stock fine and crystalline grade erythritol, high-purity stevia measured in steviol glycosides, 1:1 blends designed to match sucrose by mass, and fibers such as inulin and acacia fiber. Standard packaging is the 25 kg bag and the one-ton big bag. We do not sell in retail quantities.
A single reference does not suit all production types. Before recommending a reference, we discuss particle size, baking behavior, and storage with your technical team.
Delivery formats
25 kg
Standard bag for production lines and artisan bakeries.
1 ton
Big bag for manufacturers and continuous production volumes.
Pallet
Palletized order for scheduled deliveries by region.
Bakery · production
Artisan bakeries scaling up part of their production, manufacturers of bars, biscuits, and drink powders, and HoReCa kitchens reducing sugar without losing baking structure.
Who we work with
Three client profiles, one same requirement
Our conversation starts with your production, not our catalog. We discuss particle size, baking behavior, and storage before recommending a reference. A reference that suits a biscuit factory does not always suit a restaurant kitchen.
Artisan bakeries
We adjust the particle size to your kneading line and verify compatibility with your current recipe before proposing a 1:1 blend.
Food manufacturers
Bars, biscuits, and drink powders require batch-to-batch consistency. We provide the technical specification and certificate of analysis for every delivery.
HoReCa kitchens
Reducing sugar without losing texture in restaurant pastry often requires a blend, not a single product. We adapt the format to your order frequency.
Documentation as a working method
Every reference arrives with its proof
Every shipped reference is accompanied by a technical specification, a batch certificate of analysis, and the organic attestation of its supply chain. We refuse suppliers who cannot provide these documents at the batch level, even at a lower price.
25 kg / 1 t
Two formats cover the bulk of our shipments: the 25 kg bag for artisan lines and the one-ton big bag for continuous production. The same reference, two order scales.
Our limits, stated simply
What we guarantee, and what depends on a third party
A professional buyer prefers to know what is guaranteed and what depends on a third party. We do not issue organic certifications ourselves: we pass on those of our suppliers. We do not control upstream agricultural practices. And we do not offer a retail range.
Batch-level documents
Technical specification, certificate of analysis, and organic attestation for every shipment, without exception.
Scheduled deliveries by region
We do not promise a single lead time for all of Switzerland. Shipments are scheduled according to your region and volume.
Transmitted certifications
We do not certify ourselves. Organic labels come from our suppliers and are passed on with the supply chain.
For details on certifications and Swiss logos, see theQuality and certifications page.
Sustainable production
An organic supply chain, documented at every step
Our sourcing follows certified organic producers. We work with suppliers whose agricultural practices are documented, and we pass on their attestations rather than replacing them. What we do not control, we state.
How we price
Price per kilo, per big bag, and per ton
We price by the kilogram, by the pallet, and by the ton, based on a degressive logic rather than a single introductory price. A quote reflects your actual volume and the frequency of your orders. If your consumption does not justify the targeted tier, we will guide you toward the smaller format.
Per kilogram
Per kg
25 kg bag format, for artisanal bakeries and production trials. The price per kilo reflects the volume ordered.
Per pallet
Pallet
Palletized order for manufacturers planning by campaign. The rate reflects the regularity of orders.
Per ton
Per ton
One-ton big bag for continuous production. The best tier for manufacturers with stable volume.
Why this segment
A market built on old benchmarks
The Swiss market for reduced-sugar products relies on old benchmarks and organic manufacturers. Hermesetas remains associated with tabletop sweeteners, bio-familia AG has shifted toward higher-protein and lower-sugar formulations, and distributors like PRONATEC show how direct sourcing and traceability build trust.
We position ourselves alongside these players by providing raw materials in production volumes. Our role is not to compete with consumer brands: we supply bakeries, factories, and kitchens that formulate their own products.
Follow the sector
What we observe, and why
We follow ingredient trade shows like Health Ingredients Europe in Paris, where new generations of sweeteners and fibers are presented. We also observe downstream brands, from Birkengold to BioKing, because their formats and positioning signal what industrial buyers will ask for next.
This is about market intelligence, not imitation. Understanding what the market offers helps us anticipate our clients' questions and prepare the references they will be looking for in the following months.
Working with us
From your production to the first ton
You describe your production, your recipe constraints, and your volume. We verify availability and compatibility with your specification before providing a quote. A sample then allows you to test, and a first one-ton order confirms the choice.
You describe your production
Volume, recipe constraints, desired packaging format, and order frequency.
We verify availability and compatibility
We check the technical specification before issuing a quote, not after.
A sample, then the first ton
The sample validates production behavior; the first one-ton order confirms the reference.
Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver throughout Switzerland?
We deliver in Switzerland, but we do not promise a single delivery time for the entire country. Shipments are planned by region and according to your volume. Contact us to find out the schedule applicable to your canton.
What is the minimum quantity for a first order?
The standard format is the 25 kg bag. We do not sell in retail quantities. For a first order, we recommend a sample, then an order in the format that corresponds to your actual volume.
Do you provide the organic certifications yourselves?
No. We do not issue organic certifications: we pass on those of our suppliers, at the batch level, with the supply chain attestation. The Swiss certification logos appear on the Impressum page.
Why are your prices degressive?
A single price does not reflect the reality of logistics and storage. The rate depends on the volume ordered, the format (25 kg, pallet, big bag), and the regularity of your orders. A quote reflects these elements.
