It is these two things - quality and independence - thatled Fred Burke, a young engineer of Swiss descent and working at General Electric, to start his own company. When Mr. Burke founded Advanced Machine & Tool in 1970, he had the desire to make better toolings and machines than what were currently available.
Occupying the front half of the Churubusco Hatchery building inChurubusco, Indiana, AMT started the business with two employees whowere equipped with only a single surface grinder, one Bridgeport mill, a drill press and a 13-inch lathe. A tradition of quality was born. From that modest beginning with only a handful of skilled toolmakers, AMT has become a world leader as a manufacturer of stator production machines.
