APM emerged from a collaboration with a Japanese multinational company, one of the biggest suppliers in the world of chains and chain tensioning systems, which takes pride in having some of the largest and best-known car brands as its end customers. After a successful start-up phase, in which APM showed itself to be a company that was active in researching underlying processes, such as development, distribution and innovation, a collaboration between the two was born. It is a collaboration that continues to this day, and accounts for over four million components (2018) per year.
