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 />

BUSINESS FOCUS ARTICLE<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 />
