About Alpina
Alpina was founded in 1980 in Bavarian Friedberg, close to Augsburg. The company has been a specialist in the field of glasses for more than 35 years. Many innovations geared at ski goggles, sports glasses and sunglasses have given the company a name and made it a market leader in ski goggles in Germany. Since 1992, the cycling and skiing helmets have also been part of the Alpina range. Most of the products are developed at the company headquarters in Sulzemoos between Munich and Augsburg and manufactured in Bavaria. “Made in Germany” is an important matter for Alpina – on the one hand, to guarantee the product quality, on the other, to strengthen Germany as a place to work.
