Job DescriptionJoin a century-strong team building better products, together
From a single Rhode Island shop in 1924 to a global custom compounder with nine U.S. facilities and operations in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China—Teknor Apex has grown by putting people and partnerships first. We’re still privately held, led by the founder’s grandson, and united by a simple belief: “Manufacturing is a team sport and we work together to achieve our goals.”
