Apex invests in expanded production facility

Press release, August 2007

The Apex Group of Companies, one of the leading anilox and metering roll manufacturers worldwide, is embarking on a further investment programme of more than € 7 million in the extension of its main factory in Hapert/NL.

The company has managed to almost double its production capacity during the last two years by renting additional space and reconstructing existing buildings. Having acquired an adjacent site, Apex is now planning the construction of new buildings as well. The effect will be that the available production space will treble compared to the current production space. In addition to the extension of the buildings, the company has also ordered new production machinery.

The company already operates 3 production sites in the Netherlands, in Italy and in North America. A further facility is under construction. With its investment in its main factory in Hapert/NL, Apex is expecting to meet the constantly increasing demand for the high quality products offered by the company, especially demand from the European Area, combined with consolidation of its position as a leading anilox roll manufacturer .
