Growth through acquisitions Apex Industrial Automation has recently acquired Quality Reducer Service, expanding its footprint in gearbox repair and broadening service offerings for manufacturers, mills, power plants, refineries, and processing facilities in the Midwest. This creates cross-sell opportunities to existing customers in maintenance, repair, and operations with enhanced repair capabilities.

Expanded regional footprint The company has invested in assets and a larger facility presence (new 14,400 SF building in Illinois and a headquarters in Romeoville), signaling capacity to take on more projects and serve a broader customer base in North America, which can be leveraged to win more MRO and control panel fabrication contracts.

Single-source advantage Apex markets itself as a one-stop shop for electrical motor distribution, industrial machine repair, and control panel fabrication with integrated repair and machine shop capabilities. This can be emphasized to prospective clients seeking streamlined procurement, ongoing maintenance, and faster downtime recovery.

Industry recognition Receiving the Nord Gold Distributor Award for 2024 positions Apex as a trusted distributor partner. Highlighting this accolade in outreach can help open conversations with larger manufacturers who value verified performance and reliability.

Upcoming engagement Active participation in TMA Illinois Coffee & Tour events and other industry gatherings presents direct opportunities to network with potential clients, showcase capabilities, and position Apex as a forward-looking solution provider for automation and maintenance needs.
