Descriptiontext

Alesco is a Pisa, Italy-based ingredient manufacturer and supplier in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and food raw materials segments, operating in the legal/operational footprint associated with PharmaNutra S.p.A. (described as "PharmaNutra Ingredients"). The firm operates a B2B ingredients platform built around two pillars: a proprietary branded portfolio developed in-house, and exclusive Italian distribution rights for patented raw materials from international partners including DSM, Marigot Ltd, and Ingredia Nutritional.

The proprietary portfolio relies on the Sucrosomial® delivery technology, a registered trademark platform applied across at least nine branded ingredients spanning calcium, magnesium, chromium, iodine, selenium, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, and zinc (UltraCal/Sidemag/SideMag/UltraSel/UltraD3/UltraZin/UltraChrome/UltraIod/UltraB12), plus botanical extracts (Ultramir myrrh, Ultrasterol plant sterols, Ultrajoint plant-derived glucosamine, Ultrared fermented red rice). The licensed-exclusive portfolio includes Aquamin marine minerals, Bimuno GOS prebiotic, Bioenergy D-ribose, Chromax chromium picolinate, Lactium hydrolyzed milk protein, and OmegaVie algal oils. All proprietary ingredients are manufactured at the Group's Pisa facility (Via Campodavela 1), which is GMP-certified to FDA CFR Title 21, Vol. 2, Part 111, and the full proprietary line is Halal and Kosher certified.

The business model is sales-led B2B with direct engagement of R&D and procurement teams at nutraceutical, food, and pharmaceutical companies. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company supports clients with scientific consultation, regulatory assistance, and formulation development across the product lifecycle. End-segments served are nutraceutical companies (primary), food companies, and pharmaceutical/medical food manufacturers. Commercial footprint is documented as Italy, with no explicit statement of international direct sales beyond the licensed brands.
