AAPEX provided an amazing opportunity to network with both current and potential organizations for our business. It helps us be able to step away from our day to day operations. There are so many vendors and groups that make up all the building blocks that provide a foundation for our industry and the aftermarket. Thank you to all of the teams and organizations that planned and executed such a massive event. We are grateful!”
