About us

Alpine-Bio is building a Swiss/Nordic specialty healthcare platform by acquiring and scaling niche healthcare products already used by patients every day. We focus on underserved categories such as women’s health and diagnostics, where we can create value through integration, regulatory expertise, manufacturing optimisation and geographic expansion. Our goal is to build cash-generating healthcare franchises capable of delivering both dividends and attractive exit opportunities over time.

Our logo

at Alpine-Bio is depicting mountains from our vision that patients may be in a valley with their life & disease, and we should raise them to the peaks. A product or therapy may be in a valley, but its potential is rather on a peak, which is our ethos at Alpine-Bio.

Our values and credo (Greatly inspired by the J&J Credo)

To Customers

We believe our first responsibility is to the patients, doctors and nurses, to mothers and fathers and all others who use our products and services. In meeting their needs everything we do must be of high quality.

We must constantly strive to provide value, reduce our costs and maintain reasonable prices. Customers’ orders must be serviced promptly and accurately. Our business partners must have an opportunity to make a fair profit.

To Employees

We are responsible to our employees who work with us throughout the world. We must provide an inclusive work environment where each person must be considered as an individual. We must respect their diversity and dignity and recognize their merit. They must have a sense of security, fulfillment and purpose in their jobs. Compensation must be fair and adequate and working conditions clean, orderly and safe.

 

We must support the health and well-being of our employees and help them fulfill their family and other personal responsibilities. Employees must feel free to make suggestions and complaints. There must be equal opportunity for employment, development and advancement for those qualified. We must provide highly capable leaders and their actions must be just and ethical.

To Communities

We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work and to the world community as well. We must help people be healthier by supporting better access and care in more places around the world.

We must be good citizens — support good works and charities, better health and education, and bear our fair share of taxes. We must maintain in good order the property we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources.

To Shareholders

Our final responsibility is to our stockholders. Business must make a sound profit. We must experiment with new ideas. Research must be carried on, innovative programs developed, investments made for the future and mistakes paid for. New equipment must be purchased, new facilities provided and new products launched. Reserves must be created to provide for adverse times. When we operate according to these principles, the stockholders should realize a fair return.
