APE Raccorderie S.R.L.
Founded as “Minuterie Metalliche di Pe Angelo”, an artisan business manufacturing components for the wine-making sector, the company’s production has grown so much over the years that it has had to expand its area from 500 m2 in the historic site to more than 52,000 m2 in the current one. APE is now one of the few companies currently based on the concept of a system company, producing the entire pipe-fitting system in the same Brescia plant. In this way it consolidates the strong relationship between the company and local area, while continuously shaping its identity and investing a large part of its capital in research and development of new technologies to improve its production system.
