About US
AlpVision has 18+ experience in successfully building disruptive solutions based on signal processing, resulting in over 80 patents deployed worldwide. In 2001, the company invented its first breakthrough technology, authentication solution widely used today by Forbes 2000 companies. AlpVision reached profitability in 2003 and since that time has been growing steadily through developing disruptive technologies across wide range of industries.
AlpVision combines mathematic algorithms, computer software, hardware and signal processing tools to build operational solutions for large scale industrial applications. AlpVision’s digital solutions for product authentication are applicable to a wide variety of items, including packaging and labeling, plastic and metal products, and high-value documents. Our solutions are commercialized worldwide under license agreements as entirely customizable turnkey computerized systems.
Starting in 2015, AlpVision extended it’s business activities by providing artificial intelligence based products to various fields. This company has been using AI since early on and we felt that our expertise in this field is of great use for application outside the anti-counterfeiting activity. Today AlpVision provides AI based solutions in fields such as chemistry, pharmaceutical drug development, quality control, image analysis and understanding, etc.
AlpVision combines mathematic algorithms, computer software, hardware and signal processing tools to build operational solutions for large scale industrial applications including:
- Supply chain, product authentication process
- Production process
We have strong expertise in technologies based on
- Artificial intelligence
- Algorithmic development
- Software development for servers and smartphones
- Hardware design empowered by our holistic approach to each problem
OUR MISSION
Our world is full of highly skilled experts. However, experience shows that a collection of expertise is totally insufficient for effective problem solving. What is also required are integration capability and common sense. Our multidisciplinary team is capable to provide exactly that: effective solutions to complex problems.

Career opportunities
AlpVision SA is one of the worldwide leaders in the field of technologies for the authentication of counterfeit products, protecting over 30 billion of products every year worldwide. Our company headquarters is based in Vevey where is performed all R&D and commercial strategy. We cover China and the USA with two offices.
The company is 14 people and the internal hierarchy is quite flat and flexible. It is still managed and owned by the 2 founders who launched it as a startup 18 years ago. The company is profitable, financially healthy and its performance has never been so high in its entire history. Most of our team is made from high education profiles (Master of sciences, Ph. D.).
It is also important to underline that AlpVision is constantly exploring new innovations and commercial opportunities. In practice it means that the sales activity will not be restricted to our core field of authentication but will also target totally new directions like artificial intelligence (bioserver.net).. Therefore, the assistant will be able to experience not only the marketing process of our already proven technologies but also learn the full journey from the most disruptive ideas to profitable business directly with people who have a successful 18 years track record doing so.
We value the following:
- Happy relationships between employees
- Innovation
- Pragmatism
- Rigor
- Long term hiring of employees
- Long term durability of the company
These are not just nice corporate keywords but an everyday reality of what we actually do.
