Based in Pinerolo (Turin), the company designs and manufactures fluid-dynamic equipment and mechanical accessories for the aerospace, aviation, and energy industries. APR’s vision is to ‘enable the power of fluids, from Earth to Space’.  APR designs, industrializes, manufactures, and tests cutting-edge products through a vertically integrated structure. The Pumps and Valves produced are essential in Propulsion, Active Thermal Control, and Environmental Control, across Aviation and Space domains. Such products are fully considered as deep tech because they push the boundaries of fluid control engineering in extreme and harsh environments, requiring significant R&D, specialized knowledge, and high-precision manufacturing to ensure human survival in space. With a dedicated Research, Development, and Engineering team making up 30% of its workforce, APR delivers turnkey solutions through an end-to-end design-to-testing process. Thanks to a close-knit team of young talents and experienced technicians and managers, APR has earned the trust of some of the leading international aerospace players.
