Apex Removable Covers puts the customer first. We look at the customer needs, analyze the proposed product, then develop a plan to execute the product the customer is requesting!
After reviewing the specs, measurements, and site requirements, we utilize a 3D CAD program to create a model of the item to be covered. After we have created the model, we utilize an unfolding program to put the markings for cuts, sew lines, and buckles. Based on the customer’s requirement and application, we pick the fabrics, Insulation material and threads for use. This is one of the most important stages. We utilize different materials and threading depending on the environment, operating temperature, and site requirements. Then our team goes to work sewing the materials together to create the custom-fitted cover. When the product has been completed it is then reviewed by the lead production specialist and our production manager for quality control. If the cover fails quality control, the item is reviewed before it is packed for delivery.
