70 years of ideas

From the very start Alpes-Inox has always pursued a system of tangible values: functionality, essentiality and durability. Inspired by these principles, Alpes-Inox has been able
to interpret and anticipate the evolution of society, the change and transformation of the kitchen space. Over the years, the company has designed and manufactured new products, improved the existing ones and invented new solutions that are always out of the ordinary schemes.

1954

The “american” kitchen The first product was a sink cabinet. The sink had high-resistance bright white porcelain; the cabinet was made of Sendzimir galvanized sheet enamelled in the oven. Shortly afterwards, corner elements, wall units, hoods, wardrobes, tables and chairs were added to the collection. The new “Handsome” modular kitchen was born.

The first burner with primary air supply The burner (pan support, flame divider, Venturi tube) is all made of 19/10 stainless steel and operates using primary air. The air, necessary for the gas/air mixing, no longer comes from the case below which contains all the mechanisms, but from the top, therefore each individual burner is completely isolated, watertight from the case that houses it and self-supplied with primary air; thus, possible shutdowns are avoided.

1985
