About Apex Precision Manufacturing

Founded in 1974, Apex Precision Manufacturing has grown from a small job shop in Dayton, Ohio into a multi-facility, vertically integrated manufacturer serving the world's most demanding industries.

Our History

Founder George Tanaka started Apex with a single manual lathe and a commitment to quality that remains at the core of our culture today. Over five decades, we've expanded our capabilities from basic machining to include sheet metal fabrication, investment casting, forging, and complete mechanical assembly.

Our Values

• Quality First - Zero defects is not a goal, it's an expectation
• Innovation - Continuous investment in technology and people
• Integrity - Honest communication and ethical business practices
• Partnership - We succeed when our customers succeed

Leadership

Today, Apex is led by second-generation CEO Robert Tanaka and a leadership team with combined experience of over 150 years in precision manufacturing. We remain privately held and debt-free, allowing us to take a long-term view on investments and customer relationships.
