The experiments at CERN's Antimatter Factory have produced a steady stream of new results over the last two decades. Most of these have been testing CPT symmetry of the Standard Model, but lately the ALPHA experiment have also produced the first tests of the symmetry of Weak Equivalence Principle of General Relativity. A general introduction to the facility including its more recent upgrades will be presented and some of the results obtained by the the experiments will be reviewed.
