Apex Industries - Printing Rubber Rollers

What Apex Industries - Printing Rubber Rollers does

Apex Industries is a privately held Indian manufacturer and exporter founded in 1980 and headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana. The company produces printing rubber rollers — including ready-to-roll assemblies, inking rollers, alcohol dampening rollers, and combi rollers — for major offset press brands such as Heidelberg, Komori, KBA, Adast/Dominant, Roland, and Mitsubishi. Manufacturing is built around an in-house rubber compounding capability spanning Neoprene, Natural Rubber, Ebonite, Nitrile (NBR), EPDM, Silicone, Viton (FKM), Hypalon, Butyl, Synaprin, and SBR, applied over CNC-lathed steel cores with tolerances of +/- 0.001 OD.

Beyond printing rollers, Apex Industries sells industrial rubber rollers for textile, lamination, steel, paper, plastics, glass, and conveyor applications, proprietary rubber compounds (including Dual Purpose and ACR/ASH series formulations for UV and alcohol-substitute inks), and a polyurethane components line covering vibro bowl linings, ball mill liners, PU screens, pipeline pigs, and custom-molded parts. The company also offers turnkey project services — equipment, compounds, and technical guidance — for clients establishing their own roller manufacturing facilities.

Apex Industries generates revenue through quote-based, custom-specification hardware sales, distributed via a direct sales force and a regional dealer network across Delhi NCR, Punjab, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. The company claims an exporter presence in international markets, supported by a website (apexrollers.com) and a single Facebook brand page, with no public disclosure of revenue, ownership structure, external funding, or certifications.
