Alpen was founded in 1964 by brothers, Mauro and Pietro Gianola.

Alpen specializes in high-quality scissors and manicure tools. It blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to produce high-quality and durable products.

Premana, a small village in the mountains of the Lombardy region of northern Italy, is world-famous for its long history of iron and steel working. It is a hub for the production of scissors and other cutting utensils.

The Gianola brothers mastered their craft by learning from previous generations of skilled craftsmen. Today every item is manufactured with the same passion and care for quality that characterize the company since its foundation.
