How did your story begin?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alpacom\u2019s story is, above all, a family story. It began in the 1970s, when my grandfather laid the foundations of the company, inspired by three values that continue to guide us today: quality, innovation and service. In the years that followed, my parents carried that vision forward with the same passion and determination, strengthening the company\u2019s identity. Today, with the third generation, we look to the future with the same pioneering spirit as the past. It is precisely this continuity of vision that has allowed us to evolve from a small artisanal business into a structured, innovative industry capable of investing in technology, research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monoblocco-SALUS-per-tapparella-ott-2025-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monoblocco-SALUS-per-tapparella-ott-2025-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monoblocco-SALUS-per-tapparella-ott-2025-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monoblocco-SALUS-per-tapparella-ott-2025-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monoblocco-SALUS-per-tapparella-ott-2025-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monoblocco-SALUS-per-tapparella-ott-2025-1-696x928.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monoblocco-SALUS-per-tapparella-ott-2025-1-1068x1424.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monoblocco-SALUS-per-tapparella-ott-2025-1-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monoblocco-SALUS-per-tapparella-ott-2025-1-315x420.jpeg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How has the construction sector changed over the decades?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, the sector was very different: regulations were almost non-existent, construction sites required ingenuity, and every project posed a new challenge. Over time, however, construction has changed profoundly, pushing us to evolve alongside the market and adapt to new building requirements. Today, buildings are safer and more efficient from a thermal and acoustic standpoint, and innovation has become essential. Thanks to increasingly advanced materials, we can reduce heat loss and improve sound insulation. Our commitment has always been to anticipate trends by developing technologically advanced and environmentally respectful solutions. This ongoing dedication has earned us prestigious recognition and significantly expanded our presence in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is your main product?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our core business is the production of prefabricated monoblocks for window openings. In practice, we manufacture the casing that houses a home\u2019s roller shutter; the system includes thermal and acoustic insulation and highly innovative materials. It is a strategic component for a building\u2019s energy efficiency and must be designed with the same attention given to a fa\u00e7ade or roof. Our goal is clear: to simplify the work of construction professionals by offering prefabricated solutions that ensure high living comfort, excellent energy performance and real benefits for the people who live in those buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You recently launched an innovative new product, VMC Salus. What is it, and how does it fit into the company\u2019s growth strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent launch of VMC Salus marks another step forward in the evolution of Alpacom\u2019s prefabricated systems. It is a Controlled Mechanical Ventilation system that constantly renews indoor air, supplying clean, healthy air to breathe. Thanks to this innovative technology, indoor air quality remains stable, humidity is regulated and living spaces are fresher and more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s not just about wellbeing: VMC Salus also contributes to the building\u2019s overall energy efficiency. It reduces heat loss, has low energy consumption and improves the property\u2019s energy rating. Combined with Alpacom\u2019s insulated monoblock, VMC Salus provides maximum living comfort, proper air exchange and excellent energy performance\u2014perfectly in line with the company\u2019s mission to merge innovation, sustainability and wellbeing in modern buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On this topic, how important is sustainability for your company?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is absolutely central. For us, sustainability means not only complying with regulations, but designing solutions that genuinely reduce a building\u2019s environmental impact. We use eco-friendly, recyclable and low-impact raw materials that guarantee high performance and durability. Our prefabricated systems reduce thermal dispersion, improve energy efficiency and integrate technologies such as mechanical ventilation to ensure healthier air and lower waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also apply ESG principles in corporate management, focusing on production efficiency, waste reduction and consumption optimization. Our ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications further demonstrate a concrete commitment that creates value for customers, communities and the environment\u2014strengthening Alpacom\u2019s reputation as a responsible, forward-thinking company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/britishdailynews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alpacom_esterno_Low.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are your main strengths compared to competitors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over more than 70 years of activity, we have gained in-depth knowledge of insulation regulations and the requirements needed to operate in public tenders, including CAM certifications. Today\u2019s regulations are increasingly strict and environmentally driven: knowing how to interpret them and convert them into efficient, sustainable production processes is a competitive advantage that not everyone can claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another strength is our human capital: a young, skilled and motivated team that approaches every challenge with enthusiasm and an innovative mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you see the future of the sector<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe innovation will continue to be the key to success, as the market increasingly demands systems that are high-performing, safe and sustainable.
