Alpen High Performance Products, based near Boulder, CO, USA, is a leading designer and manufacturer of high efficiency windows, doors and commercial glass. The Company draws on a 30-year history of industry leadership and innovation in high performance window and glass manufacturing to produce a suite of products which are amongst the most energy efficient available. Alpen works closely with the sustainability and energy efficiency building community, including Passive House and Net Zero, to continually develop enhancements responsive to the needs of customers seeking greater energy efficiency.
The high-performance window and glass market is a small but rapidly growing segment of the 25 billion USD window market in the USA. Alpen is a recognized leader in the ultra-high performance window and glass segment which is experiencing rapid growth driven by the growing popularity of Net-Zero buildings, passive house standards and modular residential construction. Also driving growth in ultra-high performance windows and glass are increasingly stringent local building codes focused on improved energy efficiency and greater focus on interior building comfort and sound attenuation. Similarly, demand for cost-effective solutions to enhancing the efficiency of existing buildings through improved window performance is major area of expected growth.
