OUR HISTORY ALPINA

We have been bringing delicious products to the lives of our consumers for more than 70 years. Learn about our history of innovation, quality and tradition.

1945 - 1970

ARTISANAL INNOVATION

The Swiss Max Bänziger and Walter Güggel arrived in Sopó fleeing the Second World War and looking for the best land for the collection of milk to be able to dedicate themselves to the manufacture of cheese and butter in an artisanal way.

1st Aged Cheese in Colombia

At that time, these entrepreneurs introduced to the colombian market aged cheese such as Emmental, Gruyere and Parmesan to the Colombian market, being pioneers in this segment.

Since the 1950’s, the Cabaña has been a meeting point for Bogota’s citizens who went out of the city, as well as for pilgrims visiting the Santuario del Señor de la Piedra.

Alpina built its first plant in Sopó, where it processed 3,000 liters of milk per day, and acquired its first vehicle to transport the products to Bogotá.
