Our performance protects yours
We're not just workwear providers; we are innovators dedicated to pushing boundaries and engineering clothing that redefines excellence across multiple environments.
Alsico was founded in 1934 in Belgium and has since grown to become one of Europe's largest workwear providers.
We are innovators, wise to the fact that a company that sits still, never grows, continually searching for new solutions and technologies to further improve our products.
But we’re not just providing workwear; we’re enabling businesses to grow, supporting your teams so they can do the very best they can. Providing the garments you need to conquer every challenge. Because when you’re equipped with the best, you can achieve the extraordinary.

Our history
-
1934
Alsico’s beginnings
It all started in 1934 when Leopold Aelvoet decided to start his own company for professional workwear.

1947
Gaston Siau, the visionary
The small workshop that manufactured the first of the emblematic blue overalls was taken over in 1947 by son-in-law Gaston Siau. He expanded the company to a European workwear specialist. Aelvoet and Siau Confection thus became Alsico.

1975
First overseas production
In the mid-1970s, Mr. Gaston Siau was the first to start production overseas.

The third generation takes great strides
Thanks to the vision and tireless work of the third generation - Bernard and Philippe Siau - Alsico grew to become a global player.
