Alpen Milk Energizing Dairy Production through EU Support

In the mountainous region of Akhalkalaki, Georgia, Alpen Milk stands out as a modern dairy producer committed to bringing fresh, high-quality milk products to Georgian households. As a regional business deeply connected to its community, Alpen Milk is focused not only on delivering excellence but also on doing so sustainably.

To meet growing production demands while reducing environmental impact, Alpen Milk took a forward-thinking step: transitioning to solar energy. This transformation was made possible through support from the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line, which helps Georgian SMEs align with European standards through targeted investments and expert guidance.

With financing from the Bank of Georgia, Alpen Milk invested in state-of-the-art solar panels and inverters to power its production with clean, renewable energy. These upgrades reduce operational costs, minimize reliance on traditional energy sources, and strengthen the company’s overall resilience.

After the successful completion of the project verification process, the company received 10% of the loan amount as an investment incentive funded by the European Union.

The project was verified by ALLPLAN GmbH under the EaP SMEC Facility, with full compliance confirmed and no risks identified—highlighting Alpen Milk’s commitment to high standards of environmental and operational excellence.

Thanks to the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line, Alpen Milk has:

• Reduced its carbon footprint and energy expenses,
• Improved energy efficiency across its operations,
• And reinforced its position as a responsible and competitive dairy brand in Georgia’s food sector.

The EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line has been a key enabler for Alpen Milk’s growth, proving how EU-funded initiatives can power sustainable transformation for small businesses—even in Georgia’s most remote and ambitious communities.
