Alpha Pro Tech APT

Alpha Pro Tech Ltd. is in the business of protecting people, products and environments by developing, manufacturing and marketing high-value disposable protective apparel and infection control products, as well as building supply construction weatherization products. The company operates through two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Alpha Pro Tech, Inc., which focuses on disposable protective apparel for cleanroom, industrial, pharmaceutical, medical and dental markets, and Alpha ProTech Engineered Products, Inc., which manufactures construction weatherization products. All products are sold under the Alpha Pro Tech brand name or as private label, primarily in the United States through a network of distributors and sales representatives.

Alpha Pro Tech generates revenue by selling its two core product lines: disposable protective apparel and building supply weatherization products. Revenue is derived from the sale of items such as shoecovers, bouffant caps, coveralls, gowns, lab coats, face masks, face shields, housewrap, housewrap accessories, synthetic roof underlayment and related accessories. The company sells these products through purchasing groups, national and local distributors, independent sales representatives and its own sales and marketing force, with standard payment terms of net 30 days. All sales are conducted in U. S. dollars, and the company maintains inventory levels to support timely shipment, typically within 30 days of order placement.

The company operates through the following segments: Building Supply and Disposable Protective Apparel.

• Building Supply: This segment consists of construction supply weatherization products including housewrap, housewrap accessories such as window and door flashing and seam tape, synthetic roof underlayment and synthetic roof underlayment accessories, as well as other woven materials. The housewrap is marketed under the REX™ trademark, with specific products including REX Wrap®, REX Wrap Plus® and REX™ Wrap Fortis with JX ALTA 360° Drainage Technology™. Housewrap accessories include REXTREME Window and Door Flashing and REX™ Premium Seam Tape. Synthetic roof underlayment products feature REX SynFelt®, REX TECHNOply® and TECHNO SB®, while accessories include self-adhered TECHNOplus and REX Ultra HT. These products are manufactured at the facility in Valdosta, Georgia and through a joint venture in India.
• Disposable Protective Apparel: This segment includes disposable protective garments such as shoecovers, bouffant caps, coveralls, gowns, frocks and lab coats, along with face masks and face shields. The products are made using proprietary materials including ChemTech®, BarrierTech®, ComforTech®, AlphaGuard®, GenPro®, UltraGrip™, SafeStep®, MaxGrip®, AquaTrak®, SureGrip®, NuTech® and NaviTrak®. Face masks incorporate the patented Positive Facial Lock® and Magic Arch® features, with the N-95 Particulate Respirator being NIOSH-approved.

Most garments are produced via a joint venture in India, with face masks primarily manufactured in Nogales, Arizona.

Alpha Pro Tech competes in the construction supply weatherization market against established players such as DuPont and Berry Global for housewrap, and Owens Corning and GAF for synthetic roof underlayment. In the medical and dental markets, its primary competitor is Kimberly-Clark Corporation, alongside other large competitors including 3M Company, Johnson & Johnson, Cardinal Health Inc. and Medline Industries Inc. The company believes it competes successfully through brand dependability, product innovation, quality performance and a broad product offering, leveraging its manufacturing capabilities and focus on end-user needs to differentiate its offerings in competitive niches.

The company serves construction supply and roofing distributors for its Building Supply products, and industrial, cleanroom, medical and dental markets for its Disposable Protective Apparel segment. Specific customer types include companies in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, lab animal research, high technology electronics manufacturing (including semiconductors), and medical and dental distributors. Hospitals, laboratories and dental offices are key end users of its protective apparel, while residential and multi-family building and re-roofing sites are primary markets for its weatherization products.
