Strong history of development since 1978

For more than 40 years ALFFOOD has been providing the food industry on the Nordic and Baltic markets with flavour sensations, seasonings and raw material. The firm was founded as Radell AB by Donald Radell in 1978, but was run from 2008 by a previous employee called Alf, hence its present name. In 2016 ALFFOOD was taken over by its present owner and managing director Peter Widell, who with his passion for food in general and product development in particular has continued to develop the legacy from its previous owner.

ALFFOOD represents several of the world´s leading producers of high-quality raw material and food ingredients. The producers are from all over the world, and we in turn make what they produce available to the Nordic and Baltic food industries. More recently the field has been widened, and ALFFOOD has stepped out onto the international market, with sales in, for example, the UK, Ireland, Spain and the United Arab Emirates. Our ambition is to expand even more, but in accordance with our fundamental line, where possible takeovers must fit into our portfolio.

Our managing director

After that Peter was headhunted to meat processing firm Scanfood, where he worked for three years as head of production. Between 2002 and 2006 Peter worked with technical sales at Radell AB.
