Certified plant-based raw materials: oils, proteins, flours and cosmetic ingredients in organic quality for the food and cosmetics industry.
AOT GmbH
Wiggensbach (Allgäu)New on Amplifa
Family-owned company in the Allgäu
AOT GmbH (All Organic Treasures) is a family-owned company founded in 2003 and based in Wiggensbach in the Allgäu region, which produces and distributes plant-based raw materials for the natural food and natural cosmetics industries. The range includes more than 20 proteins and flours (including Heliaflor® sunflower protein, almond protein, pumpkin seed protein), around 80 food products and approximately 120 cosmetic raw materials such as cold-pressed oils, shea butter, waxes, macerates and antioxidant StoppOx® formulations. In-house production comprises cold-pressing of oils, CO2 extraction, fine milling under exclusion of oxygen (kryonert®), germ reduction (Bactosafe), dry and high-moisture extrusion as well as contract milling of allergen-free raw materials in the company's own powder mill. Customer industries include the food industry (Clean Label, vegan/meat alternatives), the natural cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, and animal feed. The company operates its own laboratory for incoming goods analysis, manufactures in an energy-efficient timber building constructed in 2018 in Wiggensbach, and delivers worldwide as a certified B2B partner (including IFS Food, ISO 22000, EU Organic, COSMOS, NATRUE).
