Connection Results in Win for Grand Rapids Company

Thursday, September 13, 2018

During a business and retention visit early in 2018, APEX Senior Business Developer, Tamara Lowney, learned Rapids Process Equipment, a Grand Rapids-based company, was interested in selling their business. The lead came to APEX through Rob West, former CEO of investor-member GPM, Inc. After meeting with Brent Roering, the business owner, Lowney connected him with Shannon Benolken at the Grand Rapids Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and she assisted with a succession/ownership change. Benolken is part of the Itasca Economic Development Corporation, a key partner for APEX.
