(Newswire.net — July 2, 2014) Englewood, NJ — It’s hard to believe world-renowned APM Hexseal, a corporation manufacturing, patenting and setting the industry standard for self-sealing fasteners and switch and circuit breaker covers for the US Military had such humble beginnings. APM was founded in 1947 by middle-school educated entrepreneur, Milton Morse, with his invention, a three-pronged plug to avoid electrocution to the user. Morse was inducted into the New Jersey Inventors’ Hall of Fame.
APM Hexseal founder, Milton Morse, formed the company with the express purpose of developing sealing products for the U.S. Military and any industry looking to seal in/out air, water, lubricants and other liquid or gaseous contaminants. APM seals have seen service in every military conflict since World War II. More than 50 million HEXSEAL® switch boots have been produced in a wide variety of types and sizes for military, commercial and industrial applications throughout the world. Installed by more than 200,000 customers, APM is the prime supplier for the boating industry, beverage dispensing machines, combat equipment of all kinds, off-road vehicles, medical equipment and a broad range of instrumentation and communications equipment, etc. Located in Englewood, New Jersey, APM and its founder have in excess of 100 patents to their name including the first switch cover and the first sealing fastener, both of which created an industry.
