Alterna Corp.

Alterna Corp. was founded by three brothers, Nick, Mark and Matt Gunia, who share a passion for conservation and environmental sustainability, especially in the context of the built environment, which accounts for nearly 40 percent of our energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and raw materials use, not to mention roughly 14 percent of potable water consumption. For over 30 years, the Gunia family has owned and operated K.G. International, a leading international distributor of packaging and raw materials based in Miami, Florida, the Gateway to the Americas. In 2007, the Gunia brothers leveraged this distribution platform in an effort to support the green building movement throughout the Southeast United States, Latin America and the Caribbean
