Didier Heddebaut founded Alpinter in 1988. 6 years later, he was joined by Glenn Verborgh. The Rwanda crisis (1994) was the first major emergency in which Alpinter was involved. Our actions following natural disasters in Latin America (1998) and the Kosovo War (1999), demonstrated the effectiveness of our innovative products and put our logistical solutions to the test.

By responding to the overwhelming demand in timely and collected fashion, Alpinter began to gain international recognition. We emerged as a company which specializes in the research, development and manufacturing of shelter items.

In 1998, we started keeping pre-positioned stock at our warehouse in Ronse, Belgium. In 2004, when the tsunami hit the Indian Ocean, in 3 days Alpinter shipped its entire global stocks and organised massive operations directly from Pakistan, India and China to the hit areas. In 2005 during the Kashmir earthquake emergency, Alpinter airlifted more than 100 000 tents in a 3-month period.
