AMT

What AMT does

AMT Inc. is a privately held US precision investment casting manufacturer, founded in 1961 and headquartered in Sharon Springs, New York. The company produces small, intricate castings (typically under 0.5 lb, ranging from 0.25 to 10 inches with wall thicknesses down to 0.020 inches) in a broad range of air melt alloys (nickel, cobalt, aluminum, copper-based, stainless, and low alloy steels) for the aerospace, power generation, medical, industrial, and defense markets. Its technology stack includes two molding processes (fully robotic ceramic shell molding with a unique-in-USA high-speed infrared drying tunnel, and solid mold/vacuum molding), semi-automatic climate-controlled wax injection, 3D wax rapid prototyping on a ProJet MJP 2500W, digital X-ray inspection, and a custom Automated Visual Inspection unit claimed to be unique in the foundry industry, all wired together through a fully integrated ERP system for shop floor feedback and full lot traceability. AMT also produces flight-critical aerospace locking devices to NAS1193, AS14227, and MS14198 specifications, a product line it has run for over 20 years.

AMT sells exclusively B2B, primarily through aerospace hardware distributors globally, with additional direct relationships supporting Long Term Agreements and stocking programs. The company supplements casting sales with value-added services (CNC machining, assembly, surface finishing including passivating, chem-filming, anodizing, plating, painting, and powder coating) and inventory management to simplify customer supply chains. It holds AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, NADCAP FPI accreditation, ITAR registration, and DFARS compliance, and is pursuing CMMC Level 1 and NIST 800-171 alignment to remain qualified for defense work. AMT is independent and board-controlled, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent company ownership; recent governance is shaped by board members Francois Baril and John O'Neill (joined 2014), both former ESCO executives.
