About Alto Ingredients, Inc.

Alto Ingredients, Inc. (ticker: ALTO) is a U.S.-listed company traded on the NASDAQ market in the United States. It is a producer, marketer, and distributor of specialty alcohols, fuel-grade ethanol, and essential ingredients. Formerly known as Pacific Ethanol, the company has evolved from a more traditional ethanol platform into a broader ingredients and specialty alcohol business with exposure to industrial, pharmaceutical, food-and-beverage, health, home and beauty, and renewable fuels end markets. Its corporate headquarters is in Sacramento, California, and its operating footprint is focused on the United States. ([annualreports.com](https://www.annualreports.com/Company/alto-ingredients-inc?utm_source=openai)) Alto Ingredients was established in the early 2000s and has expanded through acquisitions and portfolio optimization. Today, the company emphasizes a mix of core manufacturing, merchant trading, and distribution capabilities. Public filings describe three reporting segments: Pekin production, marketing and distribution, and Western production. That structure gives Alto a diversified operating model that combines owned production assets with third-party sourcing and distribution, allowing it to serve multiple customer categories across both commodity and specialty markets. ([fintel.io](https://fintel.io/doc/sec-alto-ingredients-inc-778164-10k-2024-march-14-19796-3441?utm_source=openai)) The company’s product set includes specialty alcohols, fuel-grade ethanol, distillers corn oil, dried yeast, corn protein products, distillers grains, and liquid CO2. It also operates break-bulk alcohol distribution through Eagle Alcohol, which broadens its reach in the specialty alcohol market. In investor materials, Alto highlights customers in consumer and commercial applications spanning health, home and beauty, food and beverage, industry and agriculture, essential ingredients, and renewable fuels. This diversified end-market exposure is an important part of its competitive positioning, especially in a sector where margins can be cyclical and feedstock-driven. ([app.edgar.tools](https://app.edgar.tools/companies/ALTO?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, Alto’s assets are concentrated in the United States, with production facilities in Illinois, Idaho, and Oregon. Management has repeatedly emphasized logistical advantages tied to proximity to feedstock and end customers, as well as the ability to serve western U.S. markets efficiently. Recent public disclosures indicate that the company has continued to optimize its operating base and product mix, rather than pursuing aggressive capacity expansion. Recent items of note include the company’s announcement of first-quarter 2026 financial results timing and ongoing SEC Form 4 insider-transaction disclosures, which are relevant for investors monitoring governance and insider activity.
