What Allos does

Allos Hof-Manufaktur GmbH is a German organic food manufacturer founded in 1982 and headquartered in Bremen, with production operations at a farm site in Drebber, Lower Saxony. The company pioneered the introduction of Amaranth to the German market and operates a proprietary Amaranth popping process (Amaranth Poppverfahren) — a brief thermal-mechanical technique that gently breaks down carbohydrates and proteins in seconds while preserving sensitive amino acids. The product portfolio spans Amaranth-based crunchy cereals and mueslis (multiple flavors including Schoko, Edelnuss, Beerenfrucht), porridges, plant-based drinks (e.g., Ohne Muhhh oat drink), savory spreads (Streichgenuss line in flavors such as Bärlauch, Meerrettich Apfel, Aubergine), sweet fruit spreads (Fruchtaufstriche with 75% fruit content), snack bars, cookies, amaranth-corn waffles, organic teas, agave syrup, and essential oils. All products are 100% organic-certified under EU Bio (DE-ÖKO-001/003) and the Deutsches Bio-Siegel, with many vegan or gluten-free variants.

The business model is consumer packaged goods: Allos manufactures and sells through a multi-tier DACH retail network — dedicated organic and natural food stores (Alnatura, denn's Biomarkt, Superbiomarkt, Biocompany, ebl naturkost, reform houses), mainstream German retailers (REWE, EDEKA), and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce shop at shop.allos.de operated in partnership with Lavano GmbH, shipping to Germany and Austria. Pricing is unit-based (e.g., €4.49 for a 400g cereal, €14.99 for 1kg agave syrup, €17.99 for 50g premium tea). Marketing is centered on organic social (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), a magazine/blog (Allos Magazin), a children's content hub (Kidsecke), and community events including 'Frühstück auf dem Hof' and the SV Werder Bremen Green Partnership. The company is a subsidiary of the European Ecotone Group, holds B Corp certification since 2018 (recertified at a record 123.7 points in 2026), won the German Sustainability Prize 2023 in biodiversity, and is led by Managing Director (Geschäftsführer) Eike Mehlhop.
