"Mike Shook and Steve Danforth (the owners of AP Innovations) are both nationally recognized experts in the biodiesel and oil processing industries. They have oil processing clients on six continents." said Lee. "They have designed, built and installed many plants across the U.S. and have many satisfied clients. That makes selling their equipment and services very easy" said Lee.

"We have known Wayne for many years and we've done several projects together" said Mike Shook, co-owner of AP Innovations. "And since AP Innovations' goals has always been to provide clients a complete package of services and equipment from the very beginning of a project, all the way through startup and operations, this affiliation made even more sense" said Shook.

"Besides selling our equipment, they bring a whole new dimension to our business" said Steve Danforth, co-owner of AP Innovations. "Clients contemplating a biodiesel project often need a basic understanding of the whole process and what is involved, and an idea of whether the project makes sense economically" said Danforth. "Having Wayne and his group on our team allows us to concentrate on the technical aspects of projects and the fabrication and installation of plants".
