AMI Attachments Celebrates 25 Year Anniversary

For 25 years, AMI Attachments has been finding new and better ways to help equipment owners get more from their machines. What began as a small Ontario agricultural manufacturing business has grown into a North American manufacturer of premium attachments and provider of coupler solutions.

Founded in 2001 as Agway Manufacturing Inc., the company first built farm equipment. Founder Steve Frey and his team soon saw an opportunity to bring the same practical, problem-solving approach to construction attachments. As demand grew, the business evolved into AMI Attachments. Today, AMI manufactures more than 200 attachment products for excavators, wheel loaders, backhoes, compact equipment and more.

Over the years, AMI has earned a reputation for high-quality attachments designed to perform in demanding applications and help operators do more, every day. That growth has been built on strong relationships, skilled work and a commitment to quality and practical innovation—values that continue to guide how AMI supports customers and dealers across North America.

 

Built by People Who Take Pride in the Work

Behind every AMI product are the welders, fabricators, engineers, machinists, production staff and support teams who bring it to life. Many employees have built long careers with the company, including leaders who started on the shop floor and grew into larger roles over time.

“This milestone really belongs to our whole team. The pride our employees take in their work and the way they show up for each other every day is what built AMI over the last 25 years.”
— Steve Frey, Owner and CEO, AMI Attachments

 

Growing for the Next Chapter

In April 2026, AMI opened a second manufacturing facility in Elmira, Ontario. The 22,000-square-foot plant added approximately 15 percent more welding capacity, combines manual weld bays with robotic welding centres and created 10 new positions. The expansion is an investment in the people, processes and capacity needed to support customers and dealers as AMI grows.

“Everything we design is focused on helping operators be as productive as possible and getting the job done right. We’re investing in our people, our processes and our future, and that’s what will carry us into the next 25 years.”
— Steve Frey, Owner and CEO, AMI Attachments

As AMI looks ahead, the focus remains on innovation, stronger partnerships and premium attachments that help customers get more from their equipment. Throughout the anniversary year, AMI will continue celebrating the employees, customers and dealers who have shaped its first 25 years—and will help carry the company into the next 25.
