APEX CIPP Solution, IMS Trenchless Form Strategic Partnership

The IMS Trenchless group continues to expand internationally through a strategic partnership with U.S.-based distributor APEX CIPP Solutions, a specialist in trenchless sewer rehabilitation.

Headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, APEX has built a strong reputation through its broad product range, technical expertise, high-quality training and support, and long-standing customer relationships.

APEX’s founders are installers and business owners with decades of hands-on cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) experience. This practical foundation still shapes the company today, with a clear focus on equipment that performs in real-world conditions. The market recognizes APEX for its application-driven approach and its ability to provide contractors with reliable, field-proven solutions.

This partnership marks another key step in IMS’s long-term strategy to strengthen its U.S. presence. Building on its base in Hinesville, Georgia, IMS will deliver closer technical support, faster availability, and stronger service. The collaboration also expands local inventory and improves logistics, enabling faster response times and better customer proximity.

“I am thrilled to be joining such an outstanding group of innovators. With access to some of the best products in our industry,” says Craig Underwood, founder of APEX CIPP Solutions. “Guided by Apex’s passion for understanding how the right products can make all the difference for great contractors, we are now able to increase our stocking levels, reduce lead times, and expand our capacity to bring more production capabilities to the United States.”

The agreement represents a major milestone in IMS’s international growth strategy and reinforces its commitment to long-term partnerships. Underwood will join the group’s shareholders, reflecting its model: a true partnership between trenchless industry founders and financial partner Apheon.
