COMPANY PROFILE

APInnovations was established in 1999 to provide technical consulting services to the food processing industry.  The principals of APInnovations have a combined experience of over 40 years in the industry, specializing in rice, soybean and vegetable oil processing.  It quickly became apparent that engineering services to support the consulting was necessary for our clients so an in-house team was developed.  The next event in our development was the realization that in some parts of the world that technical service is considered to be part of the price of equipment.  APILA was formed to provide not only technical services but engineered systems and equipment into Central and South America.  We as well found that specialized equipment we find throughout the world could be used by US manufacturers and processors to improve their efficiency or reduce their capital costs of installations.

CURRENT

APInnovations is currently involved in projects on six continents demonstrating our World Class Service and commitment to helping our clients become more efficient and profitable.  Services include a range from plant audits to concept development to full engineering services to sales of equipment and entire processing plants.

DIVERSIFICATION

Although most of APInnovations experience lies in the rice and grain processing area, we have recently begun to diversify into other areas such as bio-diesel, fish processing, potato storage and processing, silica and carbon processing.  We are bringing our expertise of designing processing systems to these new areas and then using the technology we gather in our traditional disciplines.
