OPEX continues to thrive under what is now the second and third generations of Stevens family leadership, a remarkable achievement that speaks to the company\u2019s resilience, innovative spirit, and long-term success in a highly competitive marketplace. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe are deeply proud to have served as a trusted industry partner for five decades and counting, creating customized solutions that help our clients improve workflow, reduce costs and drive efficiencies in infrastructure,\u201d said David Stevens, President and CEO at OPEX. \u201cWe attribute our longevity to the core values my parents established and that we live by every day\u2015fostering innovation, maintaining a family-like company culture, and prioritizing entrepreneurial agility and long-term sustainability.\u201d <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It was in 1975 that Al and Joanna Stevens purchased OPEX. At that time, the company had fewer than 10 employees and a sole focus on mail automation. Al Stevens previously left his job at Columbia Records to become the national sales manager at OPEX. When he and Joanna were presented with an opportunity to buy the company and guide its turnaround, they mortgaged their home to do so. Today, OPEX has nearly 1,600 team members around the world and is a well-respected leader in warehouse, document and mail automation.     <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It was an open-minded and forward-thinking approach that enabled OPEX to leverage its expertise in sortation to expand seamlessly and deliberately from its roots in document and mail automation to become a leader in warehouse automation as well. The company&#8217;s commitment to pushing the boundaries of automation is reflected in its impressive portfolio of more than 300 patents, underscoring its dedication to staying ahead of industry trends and continually reinventing its products. Nearly half of the companies listed in the Fortune 100 currently rely on OPEX to provide world-class automated solutions.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The fact that OPEX has thrived across three generations of family leadership is significant, surpassing the odds for family-owned businesses\u2015only 13% reach the third generation, according to <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Business Week<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWhile much has changed in the automation industry over the last five decades, the integrity with which OPEX conducts business and our innovative spirit remain the same,\u201d said Alex Stevens, President of Warehouse Automation at OPEX. \u201cWe have always sought new and better ways for customers to transform <\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">business<\/span><span aria-label=\"Rich text content control\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> operations<\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, creating increasingly more advanced solutions to automate tasks.
