Wolfgang Dillbaum-Alexius founded aps in 2002 at the request of some of his loyal customers. What initially started as a secondary project grew quickly and dynamically. In 2009, he then decided to focus solely on aps and to manage and grow the company as sole shareholder. The company developed from a three-person operation into a comprehensive SME with a broad range of services and a global reputation. In addition, Mr. Dillbaum-Alexius is a member of associations such as the Bundesverband der Betriebe der allgemeinen Luftfahrt (BBAL), the ADMA (Aircraft Parts Distributors a. Manufacturers Association) and the Bundesverband der Mittelständischen Wirtschaft (BVMW). He served as president of ADMA from 2019 to 2021.
