Our Company

Altaterra

Altaterra was founded in 2001, and today we are a European market leader within the private label segment and the proud owner of the Dakea brand.

We have achieved this by building a team of people who work well together, who want to win, who aren’t looking for routine but who look for their own solutions, who roll up their sleeves and get on with whatever is needed to get results. We don’t sit around waiting for somebody else to do things for us, we don’t accept standard solutions and we’re willing to go the extra mile for your business when needed. We know that we can only be successful by being different and working harder.

We always look for a better way.
