The Alignex Difference

Alignex engineering tech on wheels

The mobileEX is our 40-foot custom-finished trailer outfitted with every piece of technology Alignex represents. Recent stops include Ft. Dodge, IA, Rice Lake, WI and Grand Forks, ND.

Many companies are convinced that the product development issues they struggle with are 100% unique to them. That no one else has seen their issue or could possibly understand it. We bet we can. We’re problem solvers for manufacturers. Our 30 years of hard-earned “scar tissue” has made us uniquely qualified to understand your complex processes and requirements. Unlike other technology vendors, we’re willing to roll up our sleeves and dig in to determine if it’s something we can help with – usually with no cost to you other than your time. Challenge us with something today.
