Apex Group of Companies, home of innovative new developments, is ready to present her latest novelties to the label world. Take your time to come with us on a trip to a completely new horizon and discover planet Apex at Labelexpo Europe from September 28th – October 1st.

Apex Group of Companies gained the HD-Flexo certification of EskoArtwork for her series of metering rolls which are especially developed for the High Definition printing. Hence Apex is the first and currently only anilox roll manufacturer who got this certification.

Following their vision in being the world leading anilox roll supplier, Apex Group of Companies took a next step. After last year’s investment in a new headquarters in Hapert/The Netherlands, as well as realizing the extension of the production capacities in the existing plants in The Netherlands, Italy and North America the group is now setting up their next production plant on another economic strongly growing continent. The new founded “Apex Latin America” will be located in Curitiba, Brazil and will start production in July 2011.

After already accepting the Dutch patent and the German “Gebrauchsmusterschutz”, the European Patent Office issued the patent on the innovative development of the Genetic Transfer Technology (“GTT”) in March 2011, the number is EP 2121339. This proves once more that Apex takes a leading roll as a trendsetter for the graphic industry.
