President of Alpen, Mr. Mizuno appeared on Cambria Palace

Alumni Network

Mr. Mizuno, President of the Alpen Corporation, who is also the Vice President of the Alumni Association, appeared as a guest on Cambria Palace on February 28.


He told some very interesting stories, such as how he was robbed when he founded the company, which led to the launch of his own brand and discount sales, and how he held a sale at Namba Stadium in Osaka because he did not have enough stores to handle the large volume of products. (This anecdote was also shared at last year's alumni meeting. In fact, Alpen started manufacturing its own brand products overseas with an eye to low-cost production even before UNIQLO did.)


Mr. Mizuno, who owns a helicopter and a jet plane and also flies them himself, is very active. Mr. Ryu Murakami also praised him in his editor's note as a man with a "refreshing sports mind."
