LOUISVILLE —Alpen High Performance Products Inc., a high -efficiency window <br />manufacturer in Louisville, recently raised $18 million in capital through a combination <br />of investments and a grant from the the U.S. Department of Energy. <br />The $5.9 million grant from the DOE, awarded as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure <br />Law and Inflation Recovery Act, "catalyzed an additional $12.1 million of private <br />capital," Alpen said in a news release. <br />The money will be used to help scale up Alpen's window production. <br />SPONSORED CONTENT <br />LUMBER &DESIGN GALLERY <br />The possibilities are endless at Sutherlands Lumber and <br />Design Gallery <br />Learn why Sutherlands Lumber & Design Gallery has been a cornerstone of Fort Collins' home improvement <br />community for over 30 years. <br />"The world is waking up to the critical importance of windows in decarbonizing <br />buildings. Alpen's goal is to scale the advanced window market by manufacturing <br />affordable, ultra -efficient windows and glass right here in the United States," Alpen <br />CEO Andrew Zech said in the release. "The funding is a great example of the power of <br />public -private partnership. For the last five years, Alpen partnered with the DOE's <br />national lab system and the General Services Administration (GSA) to pioneer and test <br />the use of ultra -thin -glass as a lightweight insulator in windows. Having proven the <br />technology, the DOE grant and matching private capital will accelerate deployment in <br />the market." <br />The company plans to double its manufacturing space and extend its triple- and quad - <br />pane window materials to other window manufacturers. <br />The move to become a supplier to other manufacturers while continuing to produce <br />its own product line extends the reach of its high -efficiency window systems while also <br />helping other manufacturers meet new performance standards that will be required <br />beginning in January 2026. <br />Alpen, which is opening a new production plant in Pennsylvania, initially will produce <br />all the increased nrndurt in I nuisvillp_ where the nrndurtinn facility will dnuhle in Ci7P <br />10 <br />AUG <br />Downtown Longmont <br />Sidewalk Sales <br />View Calendar Submit your event <br />•4. <br />CELEBRATE.;„ SATURDAY <br />f AUGUST 17, 2024 <br />6PM- 8.30 PM <br />Farm Dinner at Lone Hawk Farms <br />k I e.,otimrs I shut A !film +d <br />!urn-Sry !, urner I vaoec d I-COE Pmgrum <br />011111111110111.111111111111 <br />KAPE <br />n<.
