LED Rite, LLC. an American Precision Company, was an honoree at the BR Ryall YMCA Fourth Annual Champions Dinner in May 2025. Dave and Chris Scheck were the grateful recipients of the Champion’s Award. This year marks the inaugural presentation of this award. Chris Scheck served as a volunteer Board Member of the YMCA for nine years, including four years as President of the Board.
LED Rite contributed LED Backlit Thin Panel Lighting, recessed LED Can Lighting, LED Sports Lighting, and LED Linear Lighting, along with controls. Their generous donation supported the YMCA’s $12 million renovation in 2024. Moreover, LED Rite applied for and secured ComED Small Business Energy Incentives on behalf of the YMCA. APA’s donated LED solutions enabled the YMCA to save over $100,000 on the construction contract.
The BR Ryall YMCA offers numerous services to families and communities in the Western Chicago Suburbs. Programs include Parkinson’s classes, preschool, and teen mental health initiatives. The YMCA’s newly renovated facility has led to a twofold increase in community engagement and participation.
4/2025 • APA completes new installation project at our Headquarters. We are excited to announce the brand new installation of the KOMAX CR11 and Tri-Star M100LFG-TT in our facilities. American Precision Assemblers continues to expand its capabilities in both wire crimping and laser marking at our Headquarters in Hampshire, Illinois. We look forward to continue to build and expand our capabilities in Hampshire, Illinois, as well as our other facilities.
12/2024 • APA’s installation of the solar panel system technology has been completed in our Headquarters location in Hampshire, Illinois.
Since our initial solar project several years ago, solar panel technology has evolved. These new panels have bi-facial sides that enhance energy efficiency by capturing light reflected off the ground or roof on the reverse side of the panel.
We’ve observed the benefits of solar panel technology at our sister facility in Duluth and anticipate its advantages in Hampshire, especially with light-reflective snowfall in the winter months.
This new system is expected to provide our headquarters with over 100% energy offset, allowing us to return excess power to the grid. We plan to complete one final solar installation at our last remaining facility in 2025, ensuring that all APA locations utilize our greatest renewable resource.
8/22/2024 • APA’s Annual Summer Picnic • Every year, we hold our Annual Summer Picnic to thank our employees. We always have a great time grilling, hanging out, and eating good food. This year, we ate steak sandwiches and enjoyed the summer weather together.
