Absolute Process Solutions (APS) opened as an independent consultancy and parts supplier to the sanitary food-processing industry in February 2019, after industry expert, Tony Schicker, stepped back from many years of employment within the food-processing industry to introduce the evidence-based Service Programmes to improve plant processing reliability.

Linda & Tony
Tony has 50 years of experience within the Dairy and Food industries, in a variety of roles which make his skill-set unique in New Zealand.
He has worked in Technical, Production, Process Design, Senior Management, and many other arenas across the Dairy industry nationally.
Fifty years of working with food processing plants have made Tony an acknowledged expert in the diagnosis of process problems, the accurate prediction of site-specific maintenance cycles, and the design of process systems.
Josh & Casey
Josh and Casey have recently become business partners with Tony and Linda, and in time, will come to own AP Solutions.
Josh is very experienced in the food manufacturing and processing industry, with 16 years under his belt as an Engineer at his local Fonterra making him very conversant with food processing.
Josh has built his career as a maintenance fitter, more recently transitioning to a reliability engineer role where he has been involved in developing asset care strategies as well as predictive and preventive maintenance plans. Josh prides himself on process improvement and efficiencies, which he believes his strong attention to detail and impeccably high standards are a testament to.
Josh is supported by his wife Casey, who has 12+ years industrial administration experience, including small business management. Casey currently works in the energy sector as an engagement adviser for her local lines company and as secretary for a national not for profit organisation. Casey will take care of most of the administration for the business including parts sales and distribution alongside Linda.
