Aalberts brings “Apollo” PowerPress manufacturing to the United States

Aalberts integrated piping systems (IPS) has announced an investment to establish “Apollo” PowerPress manufacturing in the United States. This investment expands production capabilities at the Pageland, South Carolina facility, aiming to increase manufacturing capacity, improve lead times and advance Aalberts’ local-for-local supply model.

The project will be completed in phases through 2027, with the first U.S. made “Apollo” PowerPress products expected by early 2027. Once operational, the Pageland facility will serve as the global hub for this press technology.

“Bringing “Apollo” PowerPress production to the U.S. is a crucial milestone for Aalberts,” said Jacob Speight, CEO of Aalberts IPS Americas. “It reflects our commitment to investing in advanced technology, sustainable operations, and a stronger customer experience right here in North America. This move directly supports Aalberts’ global ambition to double our North American business by 2030 and positions our team to lead the market with speed, precision, and care.”

By expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint, Aalberts aims to reinforce its focus on sustainability. Producing “Apollo” PowerPress products in South Carolina minimizes transportation distances and emissions while introducing next-generation machinery designed for "higher efficiency and precision."
