WHO ARE WE

OUR ORIGINS

ALPACASA was founded in 1998 by Mr. David Janz as a corporation. The name reflects the three key nationalities that have influenced the identity of the founding family: German, Paraguayan and Canadian. These diverse roots have been key to the creation and development of our company.

Along the way, with hard work and dedication, we put down roots, to position ourselves as a high-level multidisciplinary company, thus achieving the production of products that far exceed the expectations of our customers.
