The Company has been built through high‑frequency M&A and organic growth. Apex has completed 325+ transactions since its inception and is the most active and prolific acquirer in the industry. This high‑frequency M&A strategy necessitates a best‑in‑class Partnership Development team.

Despite being the largest player in this incredible industry, Apex has less than 2% market share, and ~85% of the market is still fragmented. The Company is backed by several name brand investors with the majority owned by Alpine Investors, a People‑first private equity firm that specializes in buy and build strategies in fragmented, service‑based industries.
