Through constant innovation and development Apeks has grown into a major player in the diving industry. We now make more regulators for UK divers than any other manufacturer and export more than 85% of our equipment around the globe. Apeks is a respected name and our factory is probably the best centre in Europe, in fact the world, for the development and manufacture of regulators. Those same high standards that started the company all those years ago apply just as much today. Ken Ainscough, a keen diver and engineer,founded the company with Eric Partington, and the dedicated divers and experts now working at Apeks are all committed to those original values.
The company's design, development, manufacturing and production processes use the latest technology and state of the art equipment. Rigorous total quality control procedures comply with the highest standards under the European Quality Assurance System BS EN ISO 9001 ensuring Apeks' quality which is the envy of others. Apeks is the first diving manufacturer to have been awarded ISO 14001:2004 which is the standard confirming Apeks environmental credentials. We have aways recognized the impact industry has on the environment and operate an Environmental Management System in accordance with ISO 14001:2004 to reduce energy use, minimize waste, and ensure that we operate beyond the requirements of all environmental legislation and regulation. We have always been passionate about our world and its natural beauty.
Our regulators have been tested by the world's leading authorities on regulator performance and in fact were the first to pass EN 250 and be awarded the coveted CE mark. They consistently come at the top in independent performance tests throughout the world, reflecting Apeks' commitment to investment in research and development. We design, develop, test, manufacture, and assemble products in our purpose-built factory in Blackburn. As we control the manufacturing process
from start to finish Apeks offers a lifetime guarantee, such is our confidence in the reliability of our manufactured equipment. Apeks is the name diving enthusiasts and professionals trust.
We are on the approved defence contractors list for the supply of diving equipment to the armed forces. As well as the wide range of products we manufacture for the diving industry, we manufacture for navies, including the British Navy, for the army, and also for emergency services such as coast guards, police forces and fire services. For example, we are involved in the design and manufacture of the Dual mode mask and supply valves and regulators for current in-service mine counter measures.
