We built America's first cone deployable trailer.

[Founder name] served in the [branch of service]. [One or two sentences on the service.]

After seeing road crews walk live lanes to set and pick up cones by hand, [he/she] started APE to build a better way. In [year] we built the first traffic control cone deployable trailer — and we've been building them in Cookeville, Tennessee ever since.

Today APE is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business that designs, engineers and welds every trailer in-house, for contractors, traffic control companies and government agencies across the country.
