What Our Clients Are Saying

“We have a very good working relationship with  AEC.  From the quoting stage through the implementation stage, they’re always responsive to our needs.”

“With the new automated packing system, we have realized increased worker productivity and put Metglas in a position for increasing plant capacity.”

Barry Cates, Project Engineer

“AEC helped us identify a solution that would be affordable for us and satisfy all our needs. Trace Davis has been excellent. He is an effective communicator and ensures his customers’ questions are answered.

His dedication to seeing the project through to completion, even requiring a weekend trip away from home, was impressive. You can tell he enjoys his work and making his customers happy. Service like that keeps customers returning!”

Chase Wykes, Automation Engineer

“With the design and automation supplied by AEC, we found that we improved our overall process by 25% in efficiency.

Now that it’s automated, we’ve achieved improved sortation accuracy and minimized touchpoints.”

Robert Russel, Engineering Manager

“The automated scan system is placed exactly where we used to have people that hand-scanned product.  This change allows us to move people to a more value-added process.

Automating this piece saves the company money – and by doing that we save our customers money and time.”

Jimmy Pollard, Engineer

“You are the only contractor who has come in and done everything that he said he was going to do.”

Danny Brown, CSLT-Billing

“I’ve dealt with a lot of suppliers in my previous role, and so the service and relationships are huge deals in my opinion.

When you’re figuring things out on the fly, you need somebody that can help with suggestions, drawings, and best practices; AEC does that.”

Jack Walsh, President & Managing Director

“Working with AEC was seamless.

We came out with a nice finished product and our client is extremely excited – and that is not an exaggeration.”

Jack Walsh, President & Managing Director

“The project has resulted in a fivefold capacity increase, increased efficiency, lower packaging material inventory costs, and a much more durable packaged furniture product. I have been involved in hundreds of projects during my engineering career, however, this conveyor project was the most seamless from start to finish that I have ever experienced.”

Tony Watson, Process Engineer/Project Manager

“Without your vision, insight, and willingness to bring innovative ideas to the table, we would undoubtedly still be struggling with our old, outdated, manual, packing process. The new conveyor system and especially the Shrink Smart, and Pregis machines have completely transformed our packing operation.”
