“‘We’re sitting on the ground-level explosion of demand for higher-performance products … the market is accelerating.”

CompanyWeek, an online journal dedicated to promoting growth of the Rocky Mountain manufacturing economy, produces weekly Company Profiles featuring the most innovative, ambitious and promising manufacturing companies in the region.  Fittingly, this week’s featured Profile is of Alpen HPP’s own CEO, Brad Begin.

In his exclusive interview, Begin reveals that his passion for Alpen products and its people was the primary driver for him to invest in the company, not once, but twice since 2007.  His plans for the company in the coming years include expanding product lines and moving into a larger manufacturing space.  But interestingly his facility expansion/relocation plans have been stalled by the rapidly-growing marijuana industry that is scooping up available commercial warehouse space.

Read on in the CompanyWeek profile to hear more of Begin’s story, the unexpected challenge of expansion in a marijuana economy-driven state, and check out beautiful photos of our manufacturing space and production team…
