APMG was born from several specialist companies, all merging their experience and expertise in complementary sectors to form a market leader in laboratory furniture, school furniture, fume cupboards, fans, ductwork and fume scrubbers.
AP – Associated Plastics Ltd
IMPA was established in 1939 and rebranded as Associated Plastics in the early 70s. With a focus on plastic fabrications and plastic fans it used its plastics expertise to develop fume scrubbers and in 1980 introduced a pioneering range of fume cupboards. From 1986, under agreements with the Department for Education, the company’s school laboratory systems became a recognised market leader.
MG – Morgan & Grundy
M&G started making fume cupboards in 1944, potentially for the atomic bomb project. By the 1980s it was a recognised specialist in both fume cupboards and laboratory furniture. Associated Plastics purchased it in the early 90s, reorganising itself as a plastic fabricator and fan manufacturer and consolidating both companies’ expertise in fume cupboards, professional laboratory furniture and school laboratory products into a new M&G.
In 1998 the businesses combined as APMG and moved to the current premises where we’ve continued to build our reputation for high-quality products and excellent customer service ever since.
We source as much of our production material as possible from UK-based suppliers, and we only use wood-based panel products certified by the PEFC or FSC®. We use formaldehyde-free MDF whenever possible. Our computer-controlled saws automatically calculate the optimum way to cut each panel giving the least material wastage. We reuse packaging materials wherever possible.
We set ourselves a challenging ‘zero to landfill’ target which we have achieved every month since April 2017. We are proud of our record.
We have installed 336 solar panels on our roof, which are predicted to produce 98,000 kWh per year. We expect to consume 60% of the solar power and export 40%. In addition, we are working to reduce the energy our factory and offices consume, fitting energy efficient lighting, heater thermostats and timers and ensuring equipment is shut down when not in use. We prioritise energy efficiency when purchasing new equipment.
We operate a modern fleet of vehicles, which are tracked for the most effective use of our logistics. We consolidate raw material and finished goods deliveries and participate in schemes to ensure our delivery vehicles have return loads. We encourage car sharing and cycling to work. This has helped us to successfully reduce our carbon footprint for three consecutive years.
