AMPG RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF “INDIANA’S BEST<br />
PLACES TO WORK IN MANUFACTURING”<br />
AMPG was recently recognized as one of “Indiana’s<br />
Best Places To Work in Manufacturing” for 2023. The<br />
award program was built to identify manufacturing<br />
employers in Indiana who are doing things right and<br />
creating cultures that make employees proud to be a<br />
part of them. Companies were selected through employer<br />
reports and comprehensive employee surveys in this<br />
Chamber of Commerce led effort.<br />
“Building on our popular Best Places to Work event,<br />
we’re excited to continue this program to highlight<br />
manufacturers that are striving to improve the lives of<br />
their team members,” says Indiana Chamber President<br />
and CEO Kevin Brinegar. “These companies embody the<br />
traits of a good employer, which starts with valuing and<br />
respecting workers.”<br />
AMPG began in Plainview NY in 1987 and moved to<br />
Indianapolis Indiana in 2004 in order to find the skilled<br />
machinists that are the foundation of our success. We are<br />
especially proud of our employee retention (as of 2023 all<br />
of our core team members will have over 15 years with the<br />
company), and the families second generation has over<br />
19 years’ experience. We have a unique training method<br />
that allows us to grow our manufacturing capabilities to<br />
match our product and sales plan.<br />
AMPG has a unique culture of “hands off” management<br />
where the employee responsible for the work gets to make<br />
the decisions about the best way to accomplish it. A small<br />

staff manages a large number of automated machines<br />
that run 24/7/365. About 50,000 different items run<br />
across 70 spindles with an average run quantity of 125<br />
units, so data and automation are used by all employees<br />
to accomplish on time delivery metrics of over 90%. We<br />
continually work at providing a workplace where trust and<br />
honesty are valued, and where our employees display<br />
an unfailingly positive attitude towards themselves, their<br />
co-workers, and our customers.<br />
Our dedication to our employees is evidenced by<br />
their longevity and the numerous safety and healthiest<br />
employer awards we have won over the years. With only<br />
66 employees AMPG offers many more benefits than<br />
much larger companies, and the opportunity exists for<br />
all employees to design and achieve their own career<br />
path. Our shop gains both from the continual investments<br />
in the newest technology and machine tools, as well<br />
as our investments in our people who continually do<br />
things that our machine tool manufacturers say cannot<br />
be done. We invest in the newest technologies to aid<br />
our employees in their day-to-day tasks like obtaining<br />
automatic door openers on our CNC machines and<br />
advancing in automation with the aid of Cobalt robotic<br />
arms. AMPG is also one of the first in Indiana to receive<br />
the exoskeleton Apogee to revolutionize workplace safety<br />
in providing advanced physical support for tasks such as<br />
lifting, unloading and static holds.<br />
