As some in our community know, one of our facilities was the site of a tragic event that resulted in the death of one of our coworkers. Our hearts are with their family, friends and all who are grieving this loss. We are working closely with law enforcement as they investigate this event and focused on supporting our employees and the victim’s family.

Thank you for the messages and comments of support. Your kindness and compassion mean more than we can express.

What a month! October was full of good food, great laughs, and even better company as we celebrated Employee Ownership Month across all our locations. From chili cook-offs and trivia challenges to funky footwear and Wordle competitions, our team brought the energy and spirit that make APT such a special place to work.

A big thank-you to everyone who joined in, helped plan events, and made this month one to remember. We’re proud to be 100% employee-owned — and while the celebrations may be over, the pride doesn’t stop here. Ownership isn't something we celebrate once a year, it's something we live every day!

Happy Halloween!

As October comes to a close, we wrapped up Employee Ownership Month with our annual Halloween Costume Contest and announced the winners of our Wordle and Trivia Challenges. Congratulations to Mark Nordstrom, our Wordle champ, and Deb Yurek, our trivia champ!

The costumes were creative, the competition was fun, and the energy capped off a month filled with connection and celebration.

Employee Ownership Month is always a special time at APT. It gives us a chance to pause and reflect on what ownership really means: pride in our work, responsibility to our customers, and commitment to one another. None of what we do would be possible without the dedication, skill, and heart of our employee-owners.

Thank you to every member of our team for your contributions, your collaboration, and your commitment to building something bigger together. Ownership is more than a plan, it’s a culture, and you all bring it to life every day.

Our annual Safety Day yesterday included training and conversations around keeping each other protected at work!

We had Dan Corrigan from First Response Inc Fire and Safety Trainers on site for hands-on fire extinguisher training; a vendor partner Pentair was here to conduct valve safety training; and several other small group training sessions. We enjoyed a delicious pizza and salad lunch before gathering for our annual AWAIR training.

We then enjoyed social hour and dinner where we were joined by some APT retirees - people who are part of the foundation of APT. We truly enjoy catching up with them!

We're so proud to be a team that looks out for each other, on and off the job, regardless of age or experience. Thank you, APT team!

Our 4th Annual Chili Cook-off & Bake-off brought together one of the largest gatherings of the month, and it was a huge (and delicious) success! From cozy chili recipes to homemade baked goods, our employee-owners once again showed off their talents beyond the workplace.

Our chili cook-off winner was repeat champ, Rick Laleman. He successfully defended his title this year! We had a tie for 1st place in the bake-off competition. Lisa Turck brought Pecan Tassies and Aaron Klaers brought Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies.

There were so many amazing entries, everyone's sweet tooth was satisfied!

This event has quickly become a favorite tradition at APT, not just because of the food (though that helps), but because of what it represents: ownership culture at its best. When we come together, we don’t just share a meal—we share stories, laughter, and the kind of connections that make being 100% employee-owned so meaningful. Congratulations to this year’s winners, and thank you to everyone who participated and supported another memorable celebration.

Consistency is everything in cheesemaking, and APT’s Advanced Dosing System (ADS) delivers it with precision.

The ADS allows for accurate ingredient dosing (whether adding single or multiple ingredients) without the need for expensive metering pumps. Designed to handle even challenging applications like lipase addition, it ensures every batch is uniform, reliable, and high quality.

Key advantages include:

- Multi-ingredient capability for recipe flexibility
- Clean-in-Place (CIP) design for easy sanitation and efficiency
- Stand-alone functionality or seamless integration with APT’s Advanced Cheese Vat (ACV)

Like every piece of APT equipment, the ADS is built with performance, reliability, and the customer’s success in mind. When precision matters, the ADS makes the difference.
