Engineering Innovation for Modern Manufacturers

From toolkit to turnkey solutions, AME empowers you with the quality, reliability, and expertise you need to stay ahead.

Design. Build. Grow.

In the machine tool industry, it's not easy to find a better engineering partner than AME. We happily share our expertise, and we love nothing more than collaborating with our customers to build the best possible result.

Whether the project is workholding, tool clamping, saws, rod locks, machine automation, or custom machine development, we've learned a universal truth: when the design is airtight and the build is exceptional, your growth isn't a possibility. It's inevitable.

What Makes AME Different

  • Unified Expertise | One engineering team owns your project from concept through commissioning.
  • Transparent Collaboration | CAD reviews and performance reports keep you in the know and in control.
  • Scalable Results | Proven designs and control libraries mean each new installation builds on your last success.

OUR CORE VALUES

Our core values represent the best of who we are: the integrity that earns your trust, the curiosity that drives smarter solutions, and the teamwork that turns ideas into reality. Together, they’re what makes every AME partnership more than just a project—it’s a promise.

God Honoring

Our purpose goes beyond profit.  The things we make point to our maker.

Compassionate & Giving

We care for our community.  Giving back is a blessing.

Mutual Respect

Respect goes both ways.  With our customers.  With our colleagues.  With our partners.

Continuous Learning

Our current state is our worst state.  We develop problem solvers.

Unyielding Integrity

We do the right thing, even when it's easier to look the other way.

Servant Leadership

As leaders, we invest ourselves in the next generation of our company.

Pursuit of Excellence

In lieu of perfection, we pursure excellence in all we do.
