Taking the opportunity to rely on a group of people with a long-standing experience in different fields of the food sector who were looking for a unique platform from which to operate, I decided to found Alpha Solutions.
We operate in three specific areas of the food industry. In the dairy sector, we support companies to find solutions to specific issues, develop new products, build new production facilities, and start up new production processes and plants. We offer our knowledge to the biotech industry for the development of new technologies and new substrates, with the aim of improving microbial yields, simplifying processes, and commercial development in new markets of interest. Finally, we support sauce producers in the simplification of recipes and, thus, of information reported on labels, in the start-up of new production plants and in the creation of new production lines and development of new products.

Customer trust matters to us. Our clients are from all over the world: Italy, Japan, Russia, Croatia, Serbia, Denmark, Lithuania, Estonia, the Persian Gulf countries and Latin America, which are the areas in which we are currently operating.
I met several production companies starting as application technical manager, and then dedicating myself to research and development of lactic acid bacteria, enzymes and coagulants.
Over the years, I have held high-level management positions for multinationals around the dairy and non-dairy world, including Chr. Hansen, Cargill and Sensient Flavors in different parts of the world.
