About ALPEM
Alpem Sagl is a Swiss mechanical engineering company founded in 2016 in Lugano, specializing in brewery equipment and technical industrial systems. The company realizes brewhouses (including a 20-hl brewhouse), fermenters and storage tanks (e.g. 1000-liter fermenter) as well as CO2 recovery systems for breweries. In addition, the company's purpose includes the manufacture, marketing and maintenance of technical industrial systems such as pumps, heat exchangers, valves and sensors, as well as consulting for the planning, realization and installation of such systems. With the PRODIGY process intensification system, which is based on controlled hybrid cavitation, cellar time in fermentation and storage can be reduced by 50–70 % and the transition from batch to continuous dry hopping can be achieved. University experience in the field of peristaltic pumps and industrial systems flows into the design of the systems. The administrative seat is at Via Cantonale 11 in Lugano; a warehouse/office location is situated in Brissago. Languages: Italian and English.
