Since 2007, we’ve built APTUS Designworks to be a place where people, partnership, and products can thrive.

A firm designed for engineers to do great work, together

Most APTUS team members have been here for over ten years. Why? We love working together.

Our team values both competence and creativity. We welcome opportunities to learn, willingly help each other out, and take on new challenges with practicality and enthusiasm.

We celebrate the achievements of individuals, our team, and our clients. At APTUS, We work hard, but we also make time to have fun—because we know that balance is key.

An adaptable partner, experienced in bringing ideas to life

At APTUS (latin for “appropriate”), we tailor our approach to each client's unique needs, with a simple goal: find the right solutions for their specific challenges.

While we adjust our approach for each project, some things never change:

  • We show up for our clients — sometimes even in our company plane.
  • We bring our clients along for the journey, learning and building together.
  • We're straightforward with our clients, finding that honesty always leads to better results.
  • We connect with our clients as people, because strong relationships are the foundation of great work.

Our team

Our workshop

Located near downtown Maryville, Tennessee, our workshop is where our collaborative spirit comes to life. Housed in a 1940s building we renovated in 2012, it's designed to support the way we work best. But it's more than just a facility—it's a creative hub where our team and clients come together to bring ideas to life.

Our space includes

  • A 2,200 square foot office and conference area
  • A prototyping and measurement lab
  • A 1,500 square foot shop for assembly and product testing
  • An adjoining 3,000 square foot secure storage for large equipment and first-article staging

As we grow, we see the value of evolving our work space too. We’re planning the construction of a new 10,000 square foot facility designed with our workflows in mind to enhance our capabilities and better serve our clients needs.
