Recognition & Awards
As a team, we strive to put forward our best work in manufacturing each day. Throughout the years we’ve had the privilege of celebrating these efforts with external recognition.
2015 Pro Tool Innovation Award for the RAZOR-BACK® SUPERSOCKET® SHOVEL WITH POWERSTEP® AND THE RAZOR-BACK ® SAFE-LOCK™ SLEDGE HAMMER LINE
A panel of judges representing tool professionals from across the United States weighed in on entries from top global manufacturers, and The AMES Companies, Inc. was selected as a recipient of this honor. “As manufacturers strive to go the extra mile to add useful and often game-changing innovations to their product offerings, we want to point them out so our Pro readers know who’s leading the pack,” said Clint DeBoer, executive director of the Pro Tool Innovation Awards. “These manufacturers and companies have truly earned a coveted spot in the toolbox of any tradesman, contractor, or construction professional.”
2015 National Hardware Show Lawn, Garden and Outdoor Living Award

2014 IDEA Award
We received a Bronze International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) from the Industrial Designers Society of America for our new visual brand language in 2014.
