APEL will expand its west coast operations to Phoenix in late 2022 and plans to relocate the company’s headquarters, according to the Arizona Commerce Authority. The new facility will have 12 entrance doors, three dock doors, a clearance height of 30 feet and two crane bays.
“With our expansion into Phoenix, APEL can truck to any city on the west coast in two days or less, further reducing our already industry-leading lead times,” said Mike Flynn, president and COO of APEL Extrusions. “By installing the most advanced extrusion and finishing equipment in the North American industry, APEL is becoming the benchmark for customers who expect the best from their extrusion supplier in terms of product quality, service and on-time performance.”

City of Phoenix, and everyone Partners involved in this exciting announcement, as well as the team at APEL Extrusions for our state election.
