ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
WINDOWS AND DOORS Rooted in the Trentino area of northern Italy, from which it draws its strong culture of environmental friendliness and sustainability, Alphacan is the Italian leader in PVC u-systems for doors and windows. Mr Luciotti, its CEO, talks to Barbara Rossi about his company and two new very innovative lines: IN’ALPHA70 and PRESTIGIO.
A
lphacan, led by the Bonetti family, began operations in the early 1970s as a manufacturer of PVC profiles for windows. It then started working through the Profilia and Fersina brands and finally became a business unit of the Alphacan group. Now Alphacan designs and produces a complete range of PVC frame systems, which includes profiles for windows, French windows, shutter systems, entry doors, sliding doors and special fittings. Many important projects have been completed thanks to its products, which are made of special PVC-u mixtures properly enriched with high-
quality components, all strictly in compliance with Italian and European regulation. Mr Luciotti says, “Over the years we have developed and consolidated our business on the target markets of Southern Europe, strengthening our exports, which today can count on an organisation able to fulfil the needs of the main operators in the sector, as well as those of the final users. Thanks to our modern set-up, the potential of our production department and assets such as skilled staff who work in synergy and with passion, Alphacan truly represents Made-in-Italy quality and design; these are the distinguishing fea-
tures which make our systems for PVC doors and windows internationally renowned.” Alphacan is always at the cutting-edge and its aim is that of developing new sustainable models, continuously increasing the efficiency of external shell construction products, resulting in buildings with reduced energy consumption. The Alphacan Group has five plants in Europe and a highly specialised and skilled staff of 750 people. It is part of the Kem One Innovative Vinyls division and has two R&D Centres, as well as a production capacity of 80,000 tonnes of PVC profiles a year.
