Alba, D.o.o.

What Alba, D.o.o. does

Alba d.o.o. is a privately held Slovenian family business, founded in the early 1990s by Alojz Kračun, that designs, manufactures, and services industrial weighing systems and gravimetric dosing equipment for regulated industries. Its operations are headquartered in Vojnik, Slovenia, and the company is currently led by CEO Nataša Kračun following a generational leadership transition. Alba holds ISO/IEC 17025 calibration accreditation (LK-027) and ISO/IEC 17020 inspection accreditation (K-005), positioning it as both an equipment vendor and an accredited metrology service provider.

The core product portfolio comprises (1) gravimetric dosing systems with dosing ranges from 10 mg to 500 g and continuous dosing at 0.3–1 g/min, all ATEX-certified for zones 21/22; (2) a broad range of industrial scales including truck, forklift, mobile, floor, bioreactor, and high-resolution variants plus checkweighers; and (3) a Formulation Management System for recipe-controlled multi-ingredient weighing. Recent product launches include a Smart Wi-Fi industrial scale (March 2026) and an enhanced Micro Powder Dispenser (2025). The company also sells aluminum pallets and containers, laboratory balances, medical scales, and weighing terminals.

Alba operates a direct enterprise field-sales model with custom-made solutions, quote-based pricing, and primary customer segments in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, automotive, and construction industries, supplemented by healthcare calibration services. Revenue streams split across hardware sales (scales and dosing systems) and professional services (accredited calibration, ISO 17020 inspection, custom engineering, and maintenance). The company is R&D-registered with Slovenia's ARRS (number 3706) and has been a participant in international industry events such as Powtech Nürnberg, with a multi-language website covering Slovenian, English, German, and Russian markets.

Direct peers

• Sartorius: Manufacturer of laboratory balances, weighing solutions, and bioprocess equipment with strong pharmaceutical exposure. Closely comparable to Alba in laboratory balances and pharmaceutical weighing, though Sartorius operates at significantly larger scale and has broader bioprocess coverage.
• Mettler-Toledo: Global leader in precision instruments, including laboratory balances, industrial scales, and gravimetric dosing solutions across pharmaceutical, food, and chemical end markets. Direct competitor to Alba across nearly every product category, with far greater scale and global service coverage.
• A&D Company: Japanese manufacturer of industrial scales, balances, and weighing systems with global distribution. Comparable product line to Alba across industrial and laboratory weighing, with stronger electronics and digital-instrument focus.
• Minebea Intec: Industrial weighing and dosing specialist serving pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and manufacturing customers with checkweighers, load cells, and process weighing systems. Directly comparable product portfolio and end-market mix to Alba, with stronger global footprint.
• Avery Weigh-Tronix: Industrial weighing specialist focused on truck scales, floor scales, and checkweighers for logistics, waste, and construction customers. Directly comparable to Alba's truck-scale and construction-industry product lines.
• Bizerba: Family-owned industrial weighing, slicing, labeling, and inspection solutions provider with strong food-industry overlap. Highly comparable to Alba in industrial scales and inspection/verification services for regulated industries, and similarly family-controlled.
• PRECIA MOLEN: French industrial weighing specialist offering truck scales, checkweighers, and process weighing for industrial, logistics, and food customers. Direct peer in industrial and checkweighing solutions, though with larger scale and broader European footprint.
• RADWAG: Polish manufacturer of laboratory balances and industrial scales with comparable product range covering laboratory, pharmaceutical, and industrial weighing applications. Similar European mid-sized scale and custom-engineering orientation as Alba.

Broad incumbents

• Coperion: Large industrial compounding, extrusion, and dosing systems provider serving plastics, food, and chemical industries. Overlaps with Alba in gravimetric feeding/dosing for chemical and pharmaceutical customers, but at significantly larger scale and broader process-equipment scope.
