Custom engineering and manufacturing of specialist machinery and turn-key solutions for the medical and pharmaceutical industry sectors is an area where Apex has a track record of success at the leading edge of development. Our ability to provide solutions for critical components where accuracy, repeatability, and quality are paramount has placed Apex as a first choice supplier for many household names in the industry for many years.

We routinely provide turn-key systems in this market area, working together with major suppliers in the fields of plastic injection moulding, complex parts assembly systems, vision systems and others as appropriate to provide the ideal solutions for our customers. We have a dedicated department providing IQ, PQ and OQ support for our customers so we are able to interface and assist with project developments at all stages. Typically our involvement with projects may commence at the planning and design stages, where we are often able to provide input regarding suitability of parts for handling and printing. We regularly conduct trials for customers to assess the suitability of parts and materials for compliance with the printing, marking or decoration methods that may be envisaged.

Our corporate aim is to work with customers in this industry area as long-term partners, acting not only as a machinery solutions provider but also as a development arm to assist with projects where our expertise is relevant.
