What Alnut does

Alnut (Alimentación y Nutrición Familiar, S.L.) is a Spanish B2B food development and contract manufacturing company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Carlet, Valencia. It specializes in developing and producing nutritional food products — spanning infant purees (0-18 months), children's food, adult nutrition, plant-based/vegan products, supplemented/functional foods, and human-grade pet food — for brand and private-label clients across more than 20 countries on 4 continents. The product technology rests on an open Innovation Ecosystem model that combines in-house formulation, a HACCP-based food safety system, IFS and BRCGS quality certifications, HALAL and organic production capabilities, and collaborative nutritional research with universities and external nutrition experts; the company has developed more than 400 SKUs in collaboration with clients.

The business model is a relationship-driven B2B contract manufacturing and co-development service. Alnut does not sell to end consumers; instead it partners with retailers and brands to create custom products (fruit and vegetable purees, dairy and plant-based desserts, smoothies, soups, sauces, spreads, fermented probiotic products, and pet food), with pricing negotiated per project. The six-brand portfolio (Alnut Baby, Kids, Food, Veg, Smart Food, and Pet Food Business Unit) is structured around consumer segment rather than production line, allowing shared manufacturing infrastructure to serve distinct end-markets. Go-to-market is consultative — primarily through content marketing, the corporate website, and private-label trade shows such as PLMA Chicago.

Alnut operates a single manufacturing site in Carlet (Valencia), within the GAC corporate group alongside FOODIVERSE HOLD, and employs 101-250 people. It invests more than 2% of turnover in quality controls, sources from certified suppliers (SMETA, Rainforest, BSCI) under a Km-0/local sourcing preference, and has publicly committed to ESG through SEDEX/SMETA membership and B Corp certification (April 2024). International expansion in 2024 was supported by ICEX DANA EU recovery-plan funding, and the company received AEI subsidies for product range development. Revenue and funding-round data are not disclosed in available sources.

Broad incumbents

• Nestlé: Largest global food company with Gerber as its flagship baby nutrition brand plus an extensive prepared foods, dairy, and plant-based portfolio. Sets the upper bound on incumbent scale and resources against which Alnut competes for co-manufacturing and private-label contracts.
• Hain Celestial: North American/UK-listed organic and natural products CPG manufacturer with baby (Earth's Best), kids, and plant-based brands. Comparable to Alnut for organic, clean-label positioning across multiple sub-brands and for its dependence on co-manufacturing and retailer relationships.
• Danone: Multinational CPG with a dedicated baby food business (Blédina, Nutricia) and broader plant-based and dairy portfolio. Serves as the broad incumbent benchmark for Alnut's category competition and for international retailer relationships in infant and adult nutrition.

Direct peers

• H&H Group: Hong Kong-headquartered baby and child nutrition company behind the Biostime infant formula and Swisse supplements brands, with a global R&D and distribution footprint. Comparable to Alnut in B2B baby nutrition development and in multi-region growth ambitions across infant and adult wellness.
• Hero Group: Spanish-founded international food company with a flagship Hero Baby infant nutrition line and broader healthy-food portfolio. Closely comparable to Alnut in geography, founding-era baby food focus, and B2B/co-manufacturing capabilities at similar mid-European scale.
• TreeHouse Foods: North American private-label food and beverage manufacturer serving retailer-owned brands across snacks, beverages, and prepared foods. Comparable to Alnut in the pure co-manufacturing/private-label B2B model, certifications-driven procurement, and project-by-project retailer contracting, though at materially larger scale.
• HiPP: Family-owned German organic baby food manufacturer with global distribution across purees, jars, and infant formulas. Comparable to Alnut in premium organic, HALAL-adjacent baby nutrition positioning and in its multi-sub-brand approach to the broader family nutrition set.
