AME

What AME does

AME Inc. (Ame-Inc, Inc.) is a building automation systems (BAS) integrator headquartered in Fairfield, New Jersey, with additional offices in Long Island City (NY), Newtown (PA), and Dallas (TX). Founded in 2004 by Hermie Patel, the company designs, installs, integrates, and services building management systems that unify HVAC controls, security and access control, lighting, and energy/submetering across commercial, healthcare, educational, government, and mission-critical facilities in the NY/NJ/CT metropolitan region and beyond. Its core technology layer is built on open-protocol interoperability (BACnet, Modbus, LON, Cbus) and certified integration with Honeywell (ACI Elite/ACI Direct), Johnson Controls (ASI Platinum), Carrier Controls (Expert), and Tridium Niagara platforms, supplemented by the proprietary basMaker solution-builder, an in-house 3D graphics team, a 24/7 command-center remote-monitoring capability, and a SkySpark (SkyFoundry) analytics resale partnership.

The company's revenue model combines one-time project-based installation and integration fees with recurring service and preventive-maintenance contracts (including 24/7/365 coverage and a 2-hour technician response time), professional engineering and commissioning services, energy-solutions and submetering work, and custom-graphics engagements. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with stated bonding capacity of $100 million (and $65 million NJ DPMC) supporting large institutional and government projects. As of approximately 2018, revenue was reported at $30 million across roughly 2,803 completed projects and 427,300 controllers installed; the 59-technician field workforce has historically been the primary revenue-generating asset.

Since September 2024, AME has operated as a subsidiary of Nordomatic Group, one of Europe's largest independent BMS providers, which concurrently acquired AICT (software/programming) and — in December 2025 — Conexus Inc. (Pennsylvania integrator), establishing a multi-leg U.S. platform under the Nordomatic umbrella while maintaining AME's brand, management team, and customer commitments.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Johnson Controls: Global BMS incumbent whose Authorized Systems Integrator program includes AME. Overlaps with AME's BAS integration, security, lighting, and HVAC controls offerings but at far greater scale and with proprietary Metasys/Facility Explorer platforms.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure): Global BMS and energy management platform vendor. Comparable in building automation, energy analytics, and integration services, but at significantly larger scale with broader product portfolio including power and data center infrastructure.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Global BAS incumbent and AME's primary technology partner (Niagara, WEBs). Comparable end-product (BAS platforms and integration services) but operates at massive scale with proprietary hardware, software, and direct enterprise sales force that competes with integrators like AME.
• Automated Logic (Carrier): Carrier-owned BAS brand providing open-protocol controls and integration tools. Directly comparable to AME's integration business but with Carrier's global R&D and manufacturing backing.

Others

• SkyFoundry (SkySpark): Analytics platform vendor for BAS data, with AME as a Value Added Reseller. Comparable in the analytics-and-visualization layer of the BAS stack but is a technology partner/ecosystem participant rather than a competing integrator.

Direct peers

• Control Solutions Inc. Independent BAS integrator serving the NY/NJ metro with Honeywell Niagara and JCI expertise. Directly comparable in scale, certification profile, and project-based commercial/healthcare/government customer mix.
• CM3 Building Solutions: Mid-Atlantic BAS and security systems integrator with open-protocol multi-vendor expertise across Honeywell, JCI, and Tridium. Comparable business model and end-market focus on commercial, healthcare, and institutional facilities.
• Albireo Energy: Independent building automation and energy services integrator serving the Northeast U.S., including NY/NJ. Closely comparable to AME in size, multi-vendor Honeywell/JCI/Carrier integration focus, recurring service model, and enterprise/government/healthcare customer mix.
• Conexus Inc. Pennsylvania-based open-protocol BAS integrator acquired by Nordomatic Group alongside AME. Direct peer in product approach, multi-vendor integration capability, and now a sister company under common ownership.

Emerging players

• Reliable Controls: Independent BAS manufacturer focused on small-to-mid commercial buildings with open protocols. Comparable in open-protocol philosophy and integrator-channel model, though smaller in scale and less focused on large enterprise/healthcare accounts than AME.
