Advanced Machine & Engineering (AME) was founded in 1966 out of Rockford, Illinois by Willy Goellner. AME offered design, engineering, and consulting to industries including machine tool, assembly, and packaging. A number of in-house product lines and services, as well as a number of strategic partnerships were developed alongside steady company growth over the next thirty years. In 1999, AME acquired Hennig, Inc. (USA), expanding AMEs capabilities even further. History has shown the effects of a manufacturing industry in decline. A lack of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills among workers has created a shortage of skilled and knowledgeable workers required to run a successful manufacturing facility. We are not immune to these challenges. Our mission is to support the American manufacturing industry by providing the necessary resources, training, and support through services like our robust apprenticeship and community outreach programs. When you work with AME, youre joining the movement for American manufacturing, strengthening local and national economies while creating careers and building futures for the individuals that make our industry possible.
