About AlpineChem

Three Decades of Chemical Innovation

Founded in 1990, AlpineChem Industries has grown from a small Austrian laboratory into a trusted partner for industries across Europe and beyond.

Modern chemical production facility in Austria

Our Story

AlpineChem Industries was established in Linz, Austria, with a clear vision: to produce high-quality chemical solutions that meet the strict demands of European industry while respecting the environment.

Our headquarters and primary manufacturing facility remain in Upper Austria, with distribution centers serving clients in more than 40 countries.

Throughout our history, we have maintained the same founding principles: scientific rigour, transparent operations, and an unwavering commitment to product safety and environmental stewardship.
