What AMECO does

AMECO (American Equipment Company, Inc.) is a North American Site Services provider headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, founded in 1945 and operating for 80+ years. The company delivers indirect services — tools, scaffolding, equipment and vehicles, temporary facilities, onsite fueling, workforce hydration, security and communications, snow and dust control, and energy/power management — to large capital construction projects and operating facilities across the power, LNG, chemical processing, marine, mining, advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, and government end markets. AMECO operates 12+ owned operations centers across the U.S., Canada, and the U.S. Virgin Islands and claims the largest stiff-leg derrick fleet in North America, enabling inside-the-fence service delivery at project sites of any scale.

The company's product surface combines physical equipment and on-site managed services with a proprietary digital layer: AMECO Connect provides B2B e-commerce and real-time tool inventory tracking, Tool Watch handles tool loss prevention (the company reports 5% tool loss versus a 12% industry average), and telematics feeds fleet management. Energy Solutions combines traditional generators with the proprietary PWR-PAIR modular battery energy storage system (100kWh to 500MWh+ applications) under an Energy Hub Park model for hybrid on-site power and microgrid delivery. AMECO also distributes the PERI UP scaffold system (gravity-lock assembly, 3D pre-construction modeling) and TWG-brand winches (Pullmaster, Lantec, Tulsa Winch, DP Winches, Gear Products).

Revenue is generated primarily through multi-year, fixed unit-rate service contracts (priced per craft hour for tool programs), equipment rental fees, fleet management service fees, managed-program service fees, transactional product sales through AMECO Connect, and energy/usage-based fees on PWR-PAIR deployments. The go-to-market combines a consultative enterprise field-sales motion targeting EPCs, construction managers, and owner-operators with a self-service B2B digital channel. Customers include a major Texas utility (since 1984, 50+ power generation sites), Babcock & Wilcox (since 1945), LNG Canada Kitimat (since 2019), and the Lake Charles Chemical Complex (2020 ethane cracker). The company has been privately held by One Equity Partners since 2021, following the 2022 acquisition and 2023 brand consolidation of legacy peer F&M MAFCO.
