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.
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.”
