20 Years of Apex Dynamics BV: The Helmond Gearbox Specialist That Simply ‘Runs Faster’
HELMOND, March 10, 2026 – Apex Dynamics BV, specialist in low-backlash gearboxes, racks, pinions, and couplings, is celebrating its 20th anniversary. What began in 2006 as an ambitious challenger in a skeptical market has grown into a trusted supplier and established engineering partner for the Benelux machine-building industry. For two decades, the Helmond-based company has proven that speed, automation, and a personal approach are the keys to success in the industry.
Thom van Oss has led Apex Dynamics for the past twenty years, guiding its development from an ambitious newcomer to a prominent player in the Benelux. At the time, the market for planetary gearboxes was dominated by established European names. However, with high-quality products from Taiwan and a strong focus on service, Apex Dynamics secured a respected position in the industry.
“Speed is in our genes,” says Thom van Oss, owner of Apex Dynamics BV. “It starts with responding to an inquiry and ends with delivery, usually from stock. But it’s also about the internal mindset: if a customer has a question now, they are working on it now. If you make them wait weeks for a quote, the momentum is gone. Everything must go out the door the same day. We have maintained that for twenty years, and that is exactly why customers stay with us.”
From supplier to engineering partner
In the last twenty years, the company’s portfolio has grown spectacularly: from a basic package of 6 series of planetary gearboxes to an impressive range of 92 series, supplemented by racks and pinions, associated lubrication systems, and couplings.
This expansion also brought about a shift in focus. While the company previously primarily supplied components, Apex Dynamics has transformed into a strategic engineering partner that proactively advises machine builders on calculating and optimizing their complete drive train.
Ready for the future
The foundation for the next twenty years of Apex Dynamics BV has been laid in recent years. Through process optimization and ISO 9001 certification, the organization has professionalized without losing its characteristic agility. The focus for the future lies on the digital integration of product data, allowing customers to engineer even faster and more accurately via tools such as the ‘Quickfinder’.
That speed is needed more than ever, as the market for drive technology continues to grow. Developments such as robotization, the use of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) in logistics, and the rise of humanoid robots are creating a strongly increasing demand for extremely accurate and compact drive solutions. Apex Dynamics is responding directly to this with new product lines like the GV series, specifically developed for the demanding robot and AGV market.
