Advanced Machine & Tool

What Advanced Machine & Tool does

Advanced Machine & Tool, Inc. (AM&T) is a privately held, veteran-owned precision CNC machining shop founded in 1979 by Lloyd "Dan" Riley and headquartered in Fort Pierce, Florida. The company operates from three buildings totaling 40,000 square feet, running two shifts with a workforce in the 51-100 range. Its technical capability centers on large-scale and intricate component machining — CNC milling (Mazak FH/HCN horizontal centers with Renishaw in-process probing), CNC turning (Toshiba vertical turning centers up to 78" diameter, Mazak QT series), multi-axis mill/turn (Mazak Integrex i-200ST 5-axis), fabrication/AWS-certified welding, and abrasive flow / water-jet machining. Quality is supported in-house by a Wenzel Xtreme CMM (59"x79"x34"), Nikon LK V HA laser scanner, Numerex CMM, and Non-Destructive Testing capabilities, all operating under AS9100D:2015 and ISO 9001:2015 dual certification.

AM&T's business is project-based custom precision machining, with pricing delivered per RFQ (email: [email protected]). The customer base is concentrated in four verticals: Power Generation (primary, where Siemens Energy has been the largest customer for over 30 years, shipping turbine blades, seals, and cooling components to facilities in Orlando, Charlotte NC, and Germany), Oil & Gas Refinement, Amusement Park Safety Components (Disney Ride & Show Vendor of Record), and Department of Defense work (ITAR-registered, CAGE Code 1DR17). Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales; the company has no distributor channel and limited digital marketing presence, relying instead on industry awards (SFMA Manufacturer of the Year 2018) and long-tenured account relationships. AM&T has no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds — ownership and reinvestment have been controlled entirely by the Riley family since inception.

The company's competitive position rests on a narrow but defensible niche: precision machining of large components in exotic heat-resistant alloys to aerospace-grade documentation standards, supported by regulatory certifications (AS9100D, ISO 9001, ITAR) that effectively gate access to defense and aerospace supply chains. Critical dependencies include the Siemens Energy relationship, the tenure of its experienced machinists (many 15-25+ year veterans), and continued capex into Mazak/Capital equipment. Headcount grew into two-shift operations by 2015 and the firm was classified as essential during the COVID-19 pandemic due to its power/energy sector role, indicating operational continuity through that period.
