This company is headquartered in Decorah, but you might not have heard of it before

Since 2000 a Decorah company has been doing business across the United States and even overseas.  Yet the company has a low profile in Decorah because almost all of its business is done out of town.

Alpine Transport and the related Alpine Logistics ship cars from one location to another.  The task requires a lot of attention to detail--something that Alpine has been able to do so well that it has a perfect 5-star rating with Central Dispatch and Transport Reviews.

The firm works with high-line dealerships and retail customers.  Some of those customers you'd recognize--well-known sports stars and celebrities.  It's a different lifestyle than that of Northeast Iowa, but the Iowa values of hard work and keeping promises have led Alpine to have a good reputation with car dealerships throughout the country, which has allowed the company to capture a large market share, even with very little advertising, just through the power of referrals and good word-of-mouth.
