Apex doubles up again

From modest beginnings 12 years ago, Apex Pumps has expanded rapidly and in 1996 relocated to a large modern unit in Staple Hill, Bristol-twice the size of the previous premises. After just three years, the new premises proved too confining for the swelling order books and Apex has now doubled in size once again with the recent acquisition of a further adjoining unit.

The number of skilled staff continues to increase to meet rising customer demands. For more than a decade, Apex have been satisfying the requirements of a wide range of industries, from water treatment, agriculture and irrigation to building services and chemical processing.

The design and manufacture of a wide choice of centrifugal pumps for industry is core to the Apex product range, which has now been extended to include belt drive and inverter-controlled pumps for the building services industry.

Innovative design and unrivalled choice backed by rapid delivery have always kept Apex one step ahead of competitors and this has led to a steadily growing customer base.

Over the years, Apex has developed active trading links with export customers in three continents; in particular the far and middle east, where British technology is highly rated.

Apex is proud of its reputation for being internationally competitive, with quality engineering and reliable service. This has been the key to success in export markets and the foundation on which steady year-on-year growth has been achieved.

Word of mouth recommendation rather than glossy advertising has been the primary source of new business for Apex. The company now supplies more than 500 organizations, many of whom have relied on Apex products since the earliest days.

A message from the Managing Director

Fifteen years in management positions with one of Britain's leading engineering companies taught me that customers would always value quality of product and reliability of service ahead of price.

When the company was first established, I was determined that Apex would add technical innovation to these key factors, but without detriment to competitive pricing. With so many companies buying Apex products and coming back for more, I feel that our objectives are being realized. I am proud of the past performance of Apex, and its dedicated team of employees and I am well aware that we cannot afford to rest on our laurels. I make this promise to our many customers:

ˇ§Apex will maintain its position as one of Britain's most innovative and competitive pump manufacturers, continuing to make the satisfaction of its customers its top priority.ˇ¨
