1985, there was little technological advancement in the blower industry. APG-Neuros introduced
their revolutionary air-bearing technology turbo blower in 2005 to North America. Initially, the
product was received with hesitation and skepticism by the market – “It has taken a long time –
educating the market is a slow process, but it is worth it in the long run” says Mr. Omar
Hammoud, APG-Neuros’ President & CEO.

Consequently, APG-Neuros has experienced tremendous growthyear after year as the technology became more widely accepted by the engineers and the end users alike. It all started with just one person, Omar Hammoud, in 2006 and has grown to a present total of 52 employees. Today, APG-Neuros’ has 350 turbo blowers installed and over 130 units currently on order in North America.

The 2011 competition brought together a panel of 12 judges, comprising leading experts in the water industry to evaluate the nominated companies, their innovative solution, its value in application, and the companies’ business models and core team. The judges for 2011 include: Bill Wescott, Veolia Water; Steven Kloos, GE Water; Process Technologies; Peter Williams, IBM Green Innovations; Chris Morrison, Nalco; Peleg Chevion, Syngenta; Paul Gagliardo, American Water; Andrew Salveson, Carollo Engineers; Jean Debroux, Kennedy Jenks; Paul O’Callaghan, O2 Environmental; and Rengarajan Ramesh, Wasserstein & Co.

The Panel selected APG-Neuros in the Top 50 Tech companies in the category and further
selected APG-Neuros in the TOP Innovative companies in the APEX category. “We have come a
long way – an enduring journey which began 5 years ago. It is nice to see that our hard work and
