From the mountains to the whole world.
Living values that take you further.
Behind the ALPEN brand is a family business that is deeply rooted in the region where it still exclusively manufactures drilling tools today, both in its attitude and in the values it lives by every day. The origins that shaped us oblige us at the same time. For example, to uphold the quality and innovation standards of "made in Austria" worldwide. We feel a natural connection to the skilled trades and specialist retailers and help these partners to successfully meet their challenges.
History shows: the success of ALPEN-MAYKESTAG lies above all in daily proximity. Proximity to our customers all over the world, whose specific requirements, expectations, and needs we know and fulfil. But we also live close to our retail partners, to our employees and to the region we come from. We will continue to build the future on this principle.

Starting and advancing your career at ALPEN.
Despite its size and international success, ALPEN has remained one thing: human. This is also due to us being a family business, which means much more than just ‘a company owned by a family’. Employees can look forward to meaningful work, a close-knit community, ethically sound behaviour and, last but not least, a family-like atmosphere. Added to this is a continuity afforded by long-term economic thinking and action across generations. We are not about achieving short-term quarterly figures, but solely about customer benefit.
