- 1985 | Power drawbars, power-check pull force gages, and other related products were added to AME’s offerings with the development of a sales and service contract with OTT KEMPTEN (Germany), now known as Ott-Jakob.
- 1987 | AME’s product line expanded with the addition of OTT’s precision worm gears and ODU (Germany) quick change electric connectors.
- 1993 | A new air conditioned manufacturing facility was built to house the CNC CMM’s and large boring machines, providing an increase in productivity. Since the move, AME has purchased and implemented a number of new machines including high production ID/OD grinders, vertical and horizontal machining centers with multiple tool and pallet changers, a CNC turning center, and more.
- 1994 | Tschudin & Heid (Switzerland) linear roller bearings further expanded AME’s offerings while an agreement with B&S Maschinen GmbH & Co. KG (Germany) and Bütfering (Germany) was developed to promote their beet processing machinery in the United States.
- 1998 | A segmentation of operating units takes place to increase efficiency and better serve customers. These segments include machine design/build, components, fluid power, workholding systems, power drawbars/toolholders/gauging, and contract machining/inspection.
