Overview

Alphyt — short for l'Algérienne des Phytosanitaires — is an Algerian chemical company specialised in the formulation, development and commercialisation of plant-protection products (pesticides) and public-hygiene products. It is an Entreprise Publique Economique (EPE-SPA) with share capital of 900,000,000.00 DA, a subsidiary of the state-owned Groupe Industriel Asmidal, and is headquartered on Route de l'Aéroport in Dar El Beida, Algiers. The company was created on 1 January 2004. Alphyt's vocation is the protection of crops against pests of all kinds, which supports quantitative and qualitative growth in agricultural yields, and the improvement of public hygiene and population comfort through a varied product range. Its portfolio spans agricultural phytosanitary products — fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and acridicides — and public-hygiene products such as bactericides, disinfectants, insecticides and rodenticides. It also produces aerosols and domestic insecticide tablets. The company states that its products meet international standards (FAO, WHO, CIPAC) and that it holds a privileged position in the Algerian pesticide market. Alphyt operates four production units in Algeria: Béni Mered, for the formulation of sulphur and powder pesticides; Baraki, for the formulation of liquid and powder pesticides; Mascara, for the production of aerosol insecticides; and Gosbat, for the production of aerosol insecticides and insecticide tablets. The company also runs a central laboratory equipped with modern equipment and offers a 3D public-hygiene service — disinfection, disinsectisation and deratisation — for hospitals, long-term care institutions and other sites. In a highly competitive market, Alphyt pursues development through an established managerial strategy and continuous quality improvement. Its development approach focuses on winning new market shares in essential and sustainable products, in line with global trends in pesticide use, by homologating new products, extending existing homologations to other crops, enriching its fungicide and insecticide ranges with systemic products, and introducing new formulations such as suspension concentrates (SC), seed-treatment concentrates (FS) and granule forms (GR). French Wikipedia describes Alphyt as the leader in phytosanitary production in North Africa.

History

Alphyt was created on 1 January 2004 as an Entreprise Publique Economique (EPE-SPA) under the name l'Algérienne des Phytosanitaires, with share capital of 900,000,000.00 DA. It was established as a subsidiary of the Groupe Industriel Asmidal, the Algerian state-owned industrial group, and headquartered on Route de l'Aéroport in Dar El Beida, Algiers. From its creation, the company's vocation has been the formulation, commercialisation and development of phytosanitary products for agricultural use and public hygiene. Its stated purpose is to protect crops against pests of all kinds, thereby supporting quantitative and qualitative growth in agricultural yields, and to contribute to the constant improvement of public hygiene and population comfort through the variety of its products. Over the years, Alphyt has built up long experience in pesticide formulation and has assembled a diversified range of phytosanitary products meeting international standards (FAO, WHO, CIPAC), giving it a privileged position in the Algerian pesticide market. It operates four production units in Algeria: Béni Mered, for the formulation of sulphur and powder pesticides; Baraki, for the formulation of liquid and powder pesticides; Mascara, for the production of aerosol insecticides; and Gosbat, for the production of aerosol insecticides and insecticide tablets. It also operates a central laboratory equipped with modern equipment. Alphyt has expanded beyond manufacturing into public-hygiene services. It presents itself as the only national company formulating phytosanitary products in the disinfection field, and offers a 3D service — disinfection (fungal, bacterial and virucidal), disinsectisation and deratisation — delivered by an experienced professional team, with high-performance disinfection equipment for rapid and effective treatment in hospital environments and long-term care institutions, using high-quality biodegradable products. In a highly competitive market and in the face of new technologies, Alphyt continues its development through an established managerial strategy and works for constant quality improvement to meet customer expectations. Its development programme aims to acquire new market shares in essential and sustainable products, in harmony with global trends in pesticide use. Since its creation it has continually enriched its range, and it continues to widen and diversify its phytosanitary offering through the homologation of new products, the extension of certain homologations to other crops, the enrichment of its fungicides and insecticides with systemic products, and the introduction of new formulations such as suspension concentrates (SC), seed-treatment concentrates (FS) and granule forms (GR). French Wikipedia describes Alphyt as the leader in phytosanitary production in North Africa.
