Every business big or small had to start out somewhere. Some have come from more humble beginnings than others, launching with no more than some basic equipment, a couple employees, a garage space and a big idea. That is how A.P. got started in a garage in Orlando by Albert Purdy Buck known as Al Buck. Doing contract work for NASA on the Apollo missions, Al had the responsibility of calibrating wa
ter quality for the astronauts. It is then he conceptualized the idea for making a flow calibrator which is easy to use and portable. In 1981 Al made his idea a reality by starting A.P. in his Orlando garage. He and his wife Linda Buck made this small business into a multimillion dollar company with their entrepreneur ship and hard work. Al’s sheer desire to help Industrial Hygiene market led him to invent new air sampling pumps which were ahead of its time in terms of technology. Today A.P. is a leading manufacturer of air sampling pumps and calibrators which are used to monitor personal and environmental exposures in various industries. Our air sampling pumps and calibration devices are used in various countries worldwide. Our key markets include: Steel, Petro-chemical, Pharmaceutical, Automotive, Mining, Aluminum, Cement manufacturers as well as Government, Environmental, and military organizations, etc. Today the Buck name is synonymous with technologically advanced, quality equipments for Industrial hygiene and Indoor Air Quality industry.
