Our Story

Built on Experience. Designed to Keep Working.

Founded in 1969, APE is a third-generation business that designs and manufactures professional PCBA rework equipment and circuit-board repair products in the United States.

APE pioneered hot-air SMT rework equipment for removing and replacing components on printed circuit assemblies. Today, our range extends from eyelets, traces, and repair frames to advanced split-vision BGA placement and rework systems.

We continue to support both current and legacy equipment with replacement parts, technical documentation, and knowledgeable customer assistance.
