ALPS Mountaineering - Alps Mountaineering

ALPS Mountaineering is a camping gear manufacturer, whose products include tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags. Founded in 1993 by Dennis Brune, the companies most recent expansion is the camping gear line for Browning Arms Company.

History

ALPS Mountaineering was started in 1993 by Dennis Brune, who had previously run Kelty, in rural east central Missouri. With his oldest child beginning middle school, the flexibility of starting his own company was enough to convince him to leave Kelty. Over the years the company has grown, becoming a very family oriented company with several members of the Brune family becoming employees.
