About us

Traditional cheeses expand into snacking and mini portions with the help of cutting-edge technology from ALPMA. The market for traditional and speciality cheeses is growing, especially with continued demand for mini portions and snacking products. With its scalable, customisable cutting solutions, ALPMA is helping producers to cope with this increase in demand. The company caters for cheese manufacturers large and small who produce everything from young, mild cheddars for children’s lunch-boxes to soft cheeses and specialist vintage varieties for cheese connoisseurs.

Fixed weight cutting – market leader
As the market leader for fixed weight cheese cutting technology, ALPMA offers cutting lines that produce mini portions at up to 200 plus pieces per minute. Ultrasonic cutting blades deliver unparalleled levels of accuracy, allowing portions of 8–100g to be produced, in a variety of shapes, with giveaways of less than 1% and maximum possible yields. Working with the UK’s biggest companies in the dairy market, ALPMA continues to develop its technology with increased automation from the pallet of whole cheese blocks to the finished packed portions and all case packed back onto a pallet. The latest machine learning and performance algorithms OptiCUT and OptiYIELD continue to drive the highest levels of consistent performance.  

Soft blue, white, cheese  
ALPMA’s position as an equipment supplier in the soft cheese market has been strengthened by its purchase of Servi Doryl, a French company with expertise and a comprehensive portfolio of cheese making equipment. ALPMA is also now partnered with Sulbana for all Mozzarella-type cheese production.
