Description
ALFA JSC was founded in 1992 by shareholders: Vasil NAÇI, Kosta SOTIRI, Kristo NAÇI, Georg ZOIDIS. The head office was initially located in Vrisera, Gjirokastër.

ALFA JSC began its business activity as the official distributor of Amstel and Pepsi Co. In 1997, a historic moment for ALFA JSC marked the beginning of production activity. ALFA JSC built a modern factory in the village of Glina (southern Albania), which made it possible to expand the activity with the production of the Famous Glina Water. The success led ALFA JSC to obtain the status of the Official Bottler for the Albanian territory in 1999.

In 2015, ALFA JSC began the production of Elbar beer, which is also the number 1 beer in Albania.
