For several years the global market for nature-identical carotenoids for food and feed applications were dominated by only two manufacturers, as advanced and difficult manufacturing processes are required.

    Our parent company, Allied Industrial Corp., Ltd was originally a dye manufacturer, and based on the accumulated synthesis and formulation know-how a fast track project was started in 1996. The goal was the development of a Beta-carotene synthesis, and corresponding advanced formulations.

    With Beta-carotene serving as the entrance into the carotenoids arena Allied Industrial Corp. in 2000 and 2001 successfully launched its new product Altratene Beta-carotene to the food industries in Asia, Europe and Americas. On May 1st. 2002, Allied Biotech Corporation was formed as a subsidiary to run these activities.

    Altratene is the trademark for powder, emulsion, and oily formulations of Beta-carotene for beverages, margarine, bakery, dairy products, soups, noodles, flavours, dietary supplements etc., where a stable, bright and appealing yellow to orange colour or pro-vitamin A enrichment is desired. The Altratene products have kosher status (OU), and they are all non-GMO.

    Altratene is manufactured in a new dedicated, large scale, and state-of-the-art plant in Taiwan, which holds an ISO9001:2000 certificate issued by the German T躒 CERT Certification Body. Why should you use Beta-carotene instead of artificial colorants ???

    Allied Biotech Corporation has a global sales and marketing network comprising own offices in Germany, Denmark, US, Brazil, China and Taiwan, and co-operations with partners specialised in distribution of additives and ingredients for the food and dietary supplement industries.

    Allied has become the real alternative to the established suppliers of carotenoids with the necessary facilities to serve customers on a global basis.
