Aalberts Brings “Apollo” PowerPress Manufacturing to the United States

 


January 8, 2026 - Aalberts integrated piping systems (IPS), a global leader in advanced integrated piping systems for the distribution and control of liquids and gasses, has announced a major investment to establish “Apollo” PowerPress manufacturing in the United States. This investment expands production capabilities at the Pageland, South Carolina facility, increasing manufacturing capacity, improving lead times, and advancing 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 high-performance press technology, providing customers across North America with faster delivery, greater responsiveness, and localized technical support.

“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 reinforces 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.

This initiative marks the next chapter in Aalberts’ history of innovation and craftsmanship, continuing the “Apollo” Valves legacy of American-made quality, now powered by cutting-edge technology and global expertise.
