Trek One Capital Completes Acquisition of Alter Eco Foods

Trek One Capital acquired Alter Eco Foods. Alter Eco is a leading manufacturer of premium organic dark chocolate bars, truffles, granola and quinoa and markets its products in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The company’s products are primarily sold through the organic/natural retail channel and the bars and truffles represent the number one dark chocolate retailed in this sector. The company’s full cycle manufacturing process is 100% carbon neutral, product packaging is recyclable including compostable truffle wrappers. Raw materials are sourced from eco-friendly farms focused on regenerative farming, agroforestry, sustainable agriculture and fair trade practices. Additionally, the company’s products are certified organic and the company is B Corp certified.

Alter Eco was founded 20 years ago to create a premium organic chocolate brand to support cacao farmers in South America. The company has had rapid growth over the years by expanding market share in the organic/natural grocery channel and expanding its chocolate products including its proprietary truffle thin bars in a variety of different flavors. Keith Bearden was recently appointed CEO of Alter Eco and partnered with Trek One to lead the acquisition of the company. “I look forward to my partnership with Trek One along with their support and commitment to take the Alter Eco premium brand of products to the next level,” said Keith Bearden.
