Apex Industries is a Moncton manufacturer providing precision machining, sheet-metal fabrication, special processing and assembly for aerospace and defence customers. The company describes aerospace component and assembly production since 1992, serving OEMs and Tier 1–3 suppliers alongside a broader custom-manufacturing business.
Its manufacturing services extend beyond individual parts. Apex describes three- and five-axis CNC machining, multi-axis turning, sheet-metal fabrication, TIG welding of aluminum and stainless steel, and table-top assembly and kitting. Manufacturing engineering supports CAD/CAM, production methods and quality planning. Special processing combines internal operations with work sourced through external suppliers.
Company case studies illustrate larger integrated work packages. Its Rolls-Royce naval launch-and-recovery case describes involvement from concept through assembly, including design feedback and client on-site functional and load tests. A separate engine-test-stand case describes a structural frame with integrated purchased components shipped overseas. These examples show the kinds of manufacturing and integration work Apex has undertaken; the published accounts do not establish current orders.
Operating context
Apex can combine machining, fabrication, finishing and assembly within a work package, making process routing an important part of supplier selection. Its machining offer emphasizes high-mix, low-volume production, with probing and tool-breakage detection among the described process controls. Sheet-metal work and TIG welding add fabrication options, while assembly and kitting can consolidate parts and purchased components before delivery.
The company publishes customer-specific process approvals and states AS9100 and Nadcap credentials. An Airbus A220 supplier list dated October 20, 2024 independently identifies Apex in Moncton for a defined set of subcontract processes, including sealing, conversion treatment, hardness and conductivity testing, welding, and bearing or bushing work. That is useful dated evidence of process scope; current approval for a proposed part should be checked against the applicable customer list and certificate.
The new ACOA project is directed at equipment, productivity and defence qualifications. Its value to a buyer will become clearer as equipment is commissioned and the relevant qualifications are completed. Apex's broader case-study portfolio, including naval launch-and-recovery equipment, a towed-array index entry and engine-test hardware, also supports conversations beyond airframe parts.
Canadian footprint
Apex identifies its aerospace and manufacturing operation in Moncton, New Brunswick. ACOA independently records the Moncton recipient and its RDII project. Airbus's October 2024 A220 supplier list identifies the Apex site at 100 Millennium Boulevard, providing dated buyer-side evidence for that location and specified subcontract processes.
Moncton, New Brunswick is the published city-level context for Apex Industries. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
Apex offers a Moncton-based route from machined and fabricated parts to processed components, assemblies and custom equipment. Its public portfolio includes aerospace production, naval launch-and-recovery equipment and engine-test hardware. The practical fit depends on the work package: manufacturing method, special-process ownership and applicable customer approval matter as much as the part geometry. A C$3.2 million repayable ACOA project supports equipment and defence-qualification work through March 2028.
Interpretation of the public record. Not qualification, endorsement or evidence of buyer interest.
Aerospace component production and special processing
Read technical summary
Apex manufactures aerospace and defence parts and assemblies through precision machining, sheet-metal fabrication, welding, special processing and integration. Its Moncton operation describes three- and five-axis CNC machining and multi-axis turning for high-mix, low-volume work, with probing and tool-breakage detection supporting process control. Manufacturing engineering connects CAD/CAM and production methods with the part's quality requirements.
Fabrication services include sheet metal up to a company-stated thickness of 0.25 inches and TIG welding of aluminum and stainless steel; the suitability of the thickness limit depends on the material and operation. Assembly work includes table-top assemblies and kitting in a dedicated clean environment. Apex's special-processing offer includes fluorescent penetrant inspection, anodizing, conversion coating and paint, using both internal operations and external suppliers.
The work can extend to custom equipment that integrates manufactured structures and purchased components. Apex's naval launch-and-recovery and engine-test-stand case studies provide examples of this broader role. Customer approval matrices and the manufacturing route determine which processes are applicable to a particular production package.
Evidence of maturity
Apex describes aerospace production since 1992 and publishes manufacturing case studies and process-specific approval matrices. An October 2024 Airbus list independently records defined subcontract-process approvals. Current AS9100, Nadcap and customer approval scope should be matched to the proposed work package.
Commercial availability
Precision machining, fabricated parts, assemblies, kitting and special processing are offered to OEMs and Tier 1–3 aerospace suppliers. Quotations should establish the manufacturing route, outsourced processes and applicable customer approvals.

ACOA agreement 228637 provides Apex with a C$3.2 million unconditionally repayable RDII contribution for equipment, productivity improvements and defence qualification work. The agreement runs from May 8, 2026 to March 31, 2028.
Apex offers established machining, sheet-metal, assembly, kitting and special-processing services to aerospace OEMs and Tier 1–3 suppliers. Its current ACOA project supports additional equipment and defence-qualification work; the applicable approval and process route depend on the proposed work package.
Financing and disclosed activity
ACOA agreement 228637 records a C$3.2 million unconditionally repayable RDII contribution to Apex Industries Inc. from May 8, 2026 to March 31, 2028. The project is intended to acquire equipment, improve productivity and meet defence qualification standards. It is repayable development support rather than sales revenue or a procurement award; the agreement does not establish that the equipment has been installed or the targeted qualifications achieved.

Aerospace and defence component manufacturing may help teams working on Sovereign defence capability areas by contributing to logistics and sustainment, aerospace operations, and advanced materials and manufacturing.
For the proposed work package, which processes would Apex perform internally, which current customer approvals apply, and would delivery depend on any equipment or qualification still being completed under the RDII project?
Apex combines internal manufacturing and special processing with external suppliers. Its funded expansion also targets new equipment and defence qualifications, so an appropriate production route depends on both existing approvals and completed project milestones.
