Alto Ingredients, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTO) is a diversified producer of alcohol-based products and specialty ingredients for industrial, food, beverage and personal care applications. The company’s core offering centers on ethanol produced for fuel markets, as well as an expanding portfolio of natural and organic alcohols, glycerin and other ingredient solutions. Alto’s product lines serve a range of end markets, including renewable fuels, confectionery, flavorings, cosmetics and sanitizers.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Alto Ingredients operates a network of production facilities across the United States. Major sites include fermentation and distillation plants in California and Oregon, which supply fuel ethanol and industrial alcohol to domestic customers. Complementing these operations, the company has invested in specialty production capabilities that enable it to develop high-purity and value-added ingredients for regional and export markets. Alto’s geographic footprint allows it to leverage local grain feedstocks while addressing industry demand for cleaner, sustainable solutions.
Originally incorporated in 2003 under the name Pacific Ethanol, the company grew through strategic acquisitions of ethanol and ingredient assets, culminating in a rebranding to Alto Ingredients in 2020. This shift reflected a broader corporate vision to expand beyond fuel ethanol into higher-margin specialty alcohols and natural ingredient offerings. Alto’s management team brings a combination of renewable fuels, food-grade production and specialty chemicals expertise, positioning the company to serve evolving customer needs in renewable energy and consumer product sectors.
