Alcopa stands for Albert & Constance Participations. Its origins date back to 1937 when Albert Moorkens and his wife Constance started a company concentrating on the production and distribution of motorbikes in Kontich, near Antwerp.

In the late fifties, the group put extra focus on cars, with the import and even the assembly of BMWs at the Kontich location.
The car-import branch later moved to importing new Asian brands, such as Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Hyundai.

A pioneer in the field, Alcopa was the first company to sign a European distribution contract with Hyundai.

In 2010, Alcopa started its diversification journey by investing in sectors adjacent to their core business, distribution, and core geography, Belgium. Notably, Alcopa conducted multiple investments in the parts and accessories sector, but also in the building materials segments.

Later on, the company took a new direction, better aligned with its shareholders's values and aspirations. The aim was to transform Alcopa into a full-fledged investment company acting as a long-term investor into privately-owned companies.

Today, Alcopa completed its transformation into a diversified investment company by divesting from its automotive activities, continuously expanding its investment horizon both in sectors and geographies, and now operates under the stewardship of the third and fourth generations of the founding family, maintaining full ownership by the family.
