About Us
Based in Marietta, Georgia, Automated Produce Equipment, LLC (APEL) has clients and team members worldwide. With extensive experience in the industry, founder Mike McKnight has the vision to create and provide solutions for post-harvest, fresh-cut, and produce sectors. APEL offers technology that helps maintain quality and food safety and reduces losses between harvest and consumption. Since harvested products are metabolically active, undergoing ripening and senescence processes must be controlled to prolong post-harvest quality. That’s what APEL delivers.
APEL offers the latest technology to optimize the processing of potatoes, onions, and carrots and the goals of your operation. We can show you how quickly the benefits of automation and return on investment will be—maximizing production and addressing the shortage of skilled labor created during the pandemic.
Partnered with several manufacturers in the industry to bring the best and most innovative equipment that will increase production without compromising sustainability or budget. Mike McKnight provides personalized consulting for your business with expertise in starting a processing line or integrating new equipment into existing machines.
