Alto Ingredients

Alto Ingredients, formerly known as Pacific Ethanol, is a publicly traded U.S. producer and distributor of specialty alcohols, renewable fuels, and essential ingredients. The company supplies bio-based alcohols and related products into end markets including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, health, home and beauty, industrial, agriculture, and renewable fuels. Its business is centered on large-scale manufacturing, processing, and distribution rather than drug discovery or therapeutic development. Although some of its products are used in healthcare and pharmaceutical supply chains, the company is not a biotech or healthcare company in the sense of developing medicines or medical technologies. It operates production assets in the Midwest and West Coast of the United States and markets high-grade alcohols and co-products such as feed ingredients, corn oil, and carbon dioxide-related outputs.
