With origins in operating companies, Amsted has grown through both acquisition and product innovation to become the leader in the industries we serve. Our goal has always been to ensure the best possible products be provided to global markets. We assumed the name Amsted Industries in 1962 and continued to show persistent growth in both strength and scope. In 1986, Amsted Industries established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and by 1998 we were 100% ESOP owned. At Amsted, we relish the responsibility bestowed upon us to provide reliable, well-made products for markets around the world, and are constantly striving to exceed even higher standards of success to make that happen. Culture Dedicated to excellence At Amsted Industries, we know our customers count on us to power through the world’s toughest environments. For this reason, our first-class employees are dedicated to excellence and a commitment to make top-quality products that matter. We keep a strict focus on continually improving the reliability of our products to ensure that we stay the leader in our industries. Although many of the markets we serve are already mature, we’re constantly seeking growth opportunities for acquiring and developing new products. Here at Amsted Industries we don’t just meet the industry standards, we set the standards. Global Presence No boundaries to success Quality products, innovation, stability and reliability are universally necessary. Amsted Industries recognizes that global boundaries are disappearing, and we are committed to bringing our highly engineered, top quality products to help our customers succeed wherever in the world they are operating. With 65 manufacturing facilities in 11 countries, Amsted serves the vehicular, railroad, construction and building markets by employing 16,000 people throughout the world. With our global capability, we have the manufacturing capacity and flexibility to meet the industry’s needs today and the needs that emerge in the decades ahead. Sustainability Our mission: environmental sustainability As a global leader, Amsted Industries is committed to conducting operations in a manner that is environmentally responsible and consistent with that of a good corporate neighbor and citizen. Experience has taught us that it’s essential to all our stakeholders to be good stewards of the environment. Conserving natural resources We’re dedicated to conserving natural resources and recycling whenever possible across our factories and offices worldwide. Every gallon of fuel consumption we can eliminate due to our lightweight truck component system; every kilowatt hour we save by better managing our power needs; and every ounce of scrap metal we recycle contributes to the success of our sustainability strategy. More efficient technologies At Amsted, we’re passionate about leveraging technology to preserve the environment. Our railroad, vehicular and construction/industrial divisions utilize the latest manufacturing processes and engineering innovations to drive energy efficiencies. Through improvements in environmental performance, we not only help future generations but help our bottom line performance, as well. Join the Amsted team. And help us find new ways to go green.

Because nurturing dreams is what we’re all about. Community Beautification Day Means recently participated in a Riverfront Beautification Day along the Saginaw River close to the Corporate Headquarters. Employees were assigned to Ojibway Island and helped with painting, weeding, spreading mulch, picking litter and clearing the beach area of debris. An afternoon of hard work and collaboration made it a rewarding event for all who participated. Toys for Tots The Means family generously opened their hearts and wallets to support this year’s Toys for Tots campaign with new toy donations collected at various facilities. A group of Means employees also donated their time and efforts at the Saginaw Township warehouse to assist with sorting toys and preparing gift bags for families in need. The overwhelming generosity of the community will help over 2,400 children of Saginaw County have a Holiday Season to remember. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Team Building Working together Both in the office and out in the community, Amsted Industries employees work as a team.
