LTH Dresden NL ALPMA GmbH Rott Am Inn

What LTH Dresden NL ALPMA GmbH Rott Am Inn does

ALPMA Alpenland Maschinenbau GmbH is a privately held German industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Rott am Inn, Bavaria, that supplies machinery and integrated process lines to the global dairy and cheese industry. The company self-positions as the complete provider ("Komplettanbieter") for cheese dairies worldwide, serving enterprise customers that include Fonterra, Wyke Farms, Klondike, Rouveen Kaasspecialiteiten, and Solarec.

The company's offering is organized around four technology pillars: Process Technology (including proprietary membrane filtration chains such as UF-RO-RO and the RO HighTS system), Cheese Technology, Cutting Technology, and Packaging Technology. Beyond capital equipment, ALPMA is extending into adjacent verticals through a Plant Based / Tofu / Paneer processing line and the CreamoProt functional protein process, and is wrapping its installed base with two digital service platforms, ALPMA APSIS and ALPMA Connect, that enable ongoing service and connectivity.

Commercially, ALPMA operates as a B2B capital equipment vendor, generating revenue primarily through sale of integrated processing lines to large dairy and cheese manufacturers, with an emerging aftermarket and digital service layer through APSIS and Connect. Distribution is international, with active commercial presence signaled by participation in four 2026 trade shows across India, the USA, Italy, and Düsseldorf, and an active careers portal indicating organizational investment. With 28 disclosed employees, the company operates as a focused specialist rather than a broad-line industrial conglomerate.
