As an established company with more than 60 employees, many of which are registered Professional Engineers, AEC is able to offer a wide array of skills and technical expertise to every customer ensuring custom solutions to some of the most challenging equipment and automation demands.

When it comes to designing and manufacturing, AEC has no limitations. AEC understands their customers’ needs and continuously strives to provide the world with the most functional, and productive solutions. AEC supplies many industries, in which they tailor every project to produce quality, timely solutions that ultimately convert any impossible problem into a very real solution.

AEC’s pipe handling system uses servomotors versus hydraulics to feed and remove the piping from the manufacturing processes. The servo drives allow for more precise and repeatable positioning while reducing the maintenance required to keep the systems operating to peak performance. AEC products can be seen and demonstrated at the Okuma Tech Center in Houston and on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRyZxjlZF5Y.
