We at Alpha are totally focused on being that one constant in an unpredictable economy that customers,
employees, suppliers and other stakeholders have come to rely upon.
All our efforts are directed at ensuring that our customers never receive less than what has been
promised to them. This can be seen in the attitude of everyone at Alpha where we constantly strive to
exceed customers’ expectations.
Developing new fabric designs is a passion at Alpha. Creating an exciting extraordinary new collection of
products for every season to delight our customers is the raison d’etre of the organisation.
Injecting more and more quality in our products is the creed by which our technical people live. They keep

better.
Alpha ensures that its projects and its manufacturing processes never encroach upon its sacred
commitment to protect the environment. At Alpha, preserving the environment is not for
