Custom polymer compounder serving eight industries across North America and Asia
Teknor Apex operates a diversified polymer manufacturing business across 10 U.S. plants plus international sites, with a tech stack built around industrial automation (Allen-Bradley PLC, FactoryTalk, Ignition HMI) and enterprise analytics (Power BI, Azure Synapse, Infor M3). Hiring is accelerating heavily toward manufacturing roles (60% of 118 active postings), with simultaneous focus on lean transformation and quality standardization—suggesting operational scaling rather than technology disruption.
Teknor Apex manufactures custom-engineered polymer compounds for eight end-use industries, serving automotive, appliance, healthcare, and consumer-facing sectors with application-specific material solutions. The company operates 10 U.S. manufacturing locations and maintains global production in Belgium, Germany, Singapore, and China. At 1,000–5,000 employees, the organization remains privately held and structured around production-first operations, with active projects spanning lean culture rollout, equipment optimization, and global quality standardization. Current pain points center on cost reduction, downtime minimization, waste elimination, and regulatory compliance across their distributed footprint.
Teknor Apex runs Allen-Bradley PLC systems (CompactLogix, PLC-5, ControlLogix), FactoryTalk HMI, Ignition monitoring, and Infor M3 for production planning. Analytics layer includes Power BI, Azure Synapse, and Kepware for OPC data bridging.
