dbo:abstract
- APPH designs and manufactures hydraulic systems, filtration, and landing gear for civil and military aircraft. It is presently owned by the Canadian aerospace supplier Héroux-Devtek, which completed the firm's acquisition during February 2014. APPH was founded as AP Precision Hydraulics during 1951, being originally based in Speke. It relocated on several occasions before adopted its current location in Sandymoor, Runcorn. APPH was acquired by BBA Group in September 1987; numerous businesses acquired by its corporate parent would be aligned or wholly integrated with APPH over the following decades. The firm established a new division focused upon its aerospace filtration activities during 2000. APPH's former owner, BBA Aviation, seeking to reduce its exposure to the manufacturing sector, opted to sell it to Héroux-Devtek Inc during the 2010s. (en)
