“At Suncast, we faced a daunting 12-week wait for repairs on an OEM motor from overseas. That’s when Apex Industrial Automation stepped in and transformed our situation. Their team expertly retrofitted an off-the-shelf motor, tailoring it to our needs with a custom base plate, new bearings, and a blower.
What truly set Apex apart was its speed and efficiency. They completed this intricate retrofit within 2-3 days of receiving our order, exceeding our expectations. This swift turnaround saved us significant time and reduced our costs. Choosing Apex meant partnering with a company that truly understands the value of time and money in business.
Their skill in delivering fast, cost-effective, and customized retrofitting solutions is why we trust Apex for our engineering needs.”

Compared to the many other vendors we’ve used for various services, Apex easily tops the list regarding dependability, communication with status updates, scheduling, and results.
After a recent job involving a VFD drive retrofit and an emergency DC motor rebuild, it’s safe to say that Apex Industrial Automation will be our go-to for a lot of future work. I will not hesitate to recommend Apex to others within our organization and the Flex-Tek Division. The management level above me was just as pleased with the performance. Apex Industrial Automation has proven to be a valuable partner, and I look forward to working with their team in the future. Thank you for the great service!”

“When faced with the challenge of replacing our Link-Belt PIV mechanical variable speed drive units on Line, we turned to Apex Industrial Automation for their expertise. They impressively identified and combined the ratios of the PIV units and pulleys, consolidating the gearing into a series of direct-driven motors and gearboxes in line. Their team also designed custom baseplate stands to stabilize and organize the new setup.
Thanks to Apex, our new setup with explosion-proof motors and in-line gearboxes allows us to work on individual components without shutting down the entire line. This enhances our efficiency and gives us peace of mind, knowing we can quickly find in-stock replacements when needed. Apex’s innovative approach and attention to detail have significantly impacted our operations.”
