What Alps Alpine does

Makes electronic components (switches, sensors) and automotive infotainment/navigation systems under the Alpine brand.

Formed in 2019 by merging Alps Electric, the components maker, with Alpine Electronics, the car-electronics maker, so it sells both infotainment systems to automakers and small parts to device makers. Revenue follows the car and device models it has won, since each runs for years.

In one line: A smaller TE Connectivity with a car-audio arm.

Products and services

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Information technology
  • Electronic components
  • Components + automotive infotainment…

What could go right

  • Automotive infotainment content growth
  • EV sensor/component demand

What could go wrong

  • Auto production cyclicality
  • Component price competition

Moat: narrow (customer qualification, process know-how). Automaker qualification for infotainment systems and component know-how, but faces broad competition in both segments.
