More than an equipment sales representative.
AEMP is a one-person operation by design. That's not a limitation, it's the point: every conversation goes straight to someone who has actually run an extrusion plant.

A one-stop marketplace, not a middleman.
AEMP's mission is straightforward: bring North American extrusion and finishing operations a full line of high-quality equipment through manufacturers with genuinely current technology and design. That means being selective about who AEMP represents, and staying close enough to the plant floor to know whether a piece of equipment will actually hold up in production, not just look good in a spec sheet.
If you're looking at a new extrusion line, or trying to improve one you already run, AEMP can help you evaluate the equipment and connect you directly with the manufacturers behind it.
"It is my mission with Aluminum Extrusion MarketPlace to bring you a full line of high quality equipment through companies with today's latest, up-to-date technology and design. A one-stop marketplace for all your extrusion, finishing, and tooling needs."
