ALPINE celebrates 30TH anniversary with customer appreciation event

Private Block Party Included Car Show Featuring Customer Rides, Live Music Stage


TORRANCE, Calif.– Alpine Electronics of America, Inc., the industry-leading manufacturer of automotive mobile media solutions, threw a private outdoor block party on Saturday, Aug. 23, to celebrate its 30th year in the United States and to thank its most enthusiastic aftermarket customers. The event was held at Alpine’s U.S. headquarters in Torrance, Calif.

The crowd soaked up the southern California sun at the invitation-only soiree. In addition to showing off and checking out each others’ Alpine-equipped vehicles in the Car Show area, attendees were treated to live music throughout the day by bands from Alpine’s recent “Rock the Dash” online music contest. The party also had an assortment of games and activities, including a golf simulator, dunk tank and rock climbing wall, as well as raffles for Alpine products and other prizes. Complimentary food and refreshments kept guests fueled throughout the day.

On display were Alpine’s over-the-top demo vehicles, including the award-winning Mini Cooper S “Mini Speedster,” the BMW X5 “Ultimate Listening Machine,” the stealthy BMW “Sinister 6” and this year’s custom sport boat – outfitted with Alpine’s new Marine product line – and GL550 tow vehicle. Also on hand was the 2,000-watt “V-Power Experience,” where participants entered a booth to hear and feel 16 Type-S 12-inch subwoofers running off a single MRP-M2000 V-Power amplifier.

“It was very important to everyone at Alpine that we share our 30th anniversary milestone with our fans,” said Stephen Witt, vice president, marketing, Alpine Electronics. “Their ongoing passion and support have made it possible for us to continue developing and providing relevant products for the U.S. market. We would not be here today without them.”
