For years now, it has been a global presence with offices in 5 countries, a consolidated network of agents and over 120 distributors spread out all over the world. Our experience with silicone began with Dr. Aldo Laghi, president of ALPS South LLC, who was one of the very first inventors of the products and processes associated with liquid silicone working at General Electric. ALPS’ first factory opened in 1988 in New York. In 1994, ALPS moved to Florida, and began specializing in prosthetics and silicone. ALPS and their partners have been working together for over thirty years towards a common goal: to improve the lives of people who use prosthetics, offering top quality products. The entire production process, from the weaving of fabrics to the manufacturing of the liners, takes place at our St. Petersburg, Florida plant. This means we can guarantee the utmost quality control at every step of production. Our passion for innovation coupled with our eagerness to interpret and even anticipate the needs of prosthetic technicians and wearers has led the company to develop more than 60 patents and more than 40 prosthetic devices, inspired by the slogan that has been ALPS’ guiding principle for over 30 years: Making Lives Better.
