Alpim Calçado
It is impossible to speak about ALPIM XXI without telling the story of the man who brought this project to life. Mr. Manuel Pinho is the soul of the company and the driving force behind its continuous growth.
Born in a land of shoemakers and artisans, his path seemed written from the very beginning. To his natural ability to make things happen, he added a deep passion for craftsmanship and creativity. Today, he stands among the most respected and successful entrepreneurs in the region.
ALPIM is, today, the realization of a dream first envisioned by Mr. Manuel in 1980—a vision he has pursued ever since the company became his life’s work. He began his journey in the footwear sector at just 12 years old, steadily growing, learning and absorbing knowledge, laying the foundations for what is now known as ALPIM XXI.
