APV was a British company that manufactured industrial food processing and handling machinery.
The company was founded in 1910 and grew to be a major British manufacturer of commercial pumps, valves, heat exchangers, homogenizers, and mixing equipment for the food processing industry.
It was listed on the London Stock Exchange between the 1960s and 1990s until it was acquired by Siebe plc in 1997. The company was later renamed as APV International and split into two components with one sold off. In 2007 the company was acquired by SPX Corporation who continued the name as a brand for some of its products.
