A Brief History of the Marque
Alba-Werke GmbH, Stettin-Möhringen 21, Pasewalker Kunstst 1, 1919-1924
The ALBA brand name is derived from the initials of its founder, Albert Baruch.
Built in Germany from 1919 to 1924 using four-stroke 198, 247, and 249cc engines of their own construction. These engines were used by Teco, Huy, Mazzucchelli and other manufacturers, and were also installed in a three wheeled van.
Manufacture ceased around 1924, but spare parts were produced by Albert's son Manfred well into the 1930s.

There was also an Italian marque slightly later in the 1920s, l'Alba.
