OUR STORY

Our vast capacity and exclusive production ensure high-quality salt products meeting Alpha’s rigorous quality standards.
Alpha Commodities is a family business rooted in passion and vision, spanning three generations. It began as a father-and-son venture, dealing in an extensive range of spices, including salt, sugar, and other food commodities. Driven by a love for travelling, exploring cultures, and forging relationships, Alpha’s founders discovered unique products from across the globe. Through these travels, they not only brought high-quality goods to their customers but also built enduring partnerships with suppliers and communities worldwide.
Alpha pioneered the ‘alternative’ supply chain, boldly challenging monopolies across the UK, Europe, and North America. By sourcing shiploads of goods from the Middle East to Australia, Alpha reshaped the market landscape. Over time, a growing focus on salt emerged, spurred by significant market breakthroughs and surging demand. These opportunities, combined with robust supply partnerships, cemented Alpha’s position as a leader in the salt industry.
