Authored By:
Rockford, Illinois, USA – 12/11/2017 – Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. (AME), a global manufacturer and distributor of precision machine tool components and metal cutting solutions, is excited to announce its groundbreaking event for its new facility expansion.
AME will break ground on Thursday, December 19th at 1:00 p.m. with Cord Construction leading all development processes. The new building addition will be located just north of the ABI building.
“The expansion will not only increase our top line revenue and overall profitability, but more importantly, it will also allow us to grow our market share in our backup power generation business (Genset) that we started 10 years ago,” explains Dietmar Goellner, AME/Hennig Inc. President & CEO. “We must increase capacity quickly to meet customer demand.”
Goellner is excited for the benefits the expansion will bring to the local community, including additional business for their local suppliers, and more manufacturing jobs for the local community.
“We at AME and Hennig consider ourselves to be manufacturing activists and we are bullish for the state of manufacturing in the United States,” claims Goellner. “We’re certainly doing our part to grow the manufacturing sector through our apprenticeship and other employee development programs. We passionately hope the United States manufacturing sector will again reach the glory days of the past.”
AME’s apprenticeship program is closing the skills gap in manufacturing with on-site paid training, providing the experience needed for a successful career.
