I remember speaking to ALPA at a photo show, from what I recall the cameras also have very fine metal shims to align the camera to a digital back.
Do they manufacture the optics themselves too? Not sure I realised that.
Edit: just found this "ALPA cooperates with the acknowledged best manufacturers of large format lenses"

A fully mechanical, manual camera system with no autofocus or built-in electronics, easily costing €15k-30k. Still produced in Switzerland.
