A consolidated experience in the production of industrial equipment, top-level in waste management.<\/p>\n

AMS was founded in 1971 by the Ghetti family, already present for decades in the industrial vehicle market under the Iveco brand.<\/p>\n

The goal was to produce equipment for forklifts.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the experience gained in the sector, AMS subsequently started the production of semi-trailers with aluminum bodies, hydraulic lifting frames, roll-off containers, and tipper bodies for medium and large vehicles.<\/p>\n

In 1983, with the new knowledge acquired in the industrial vehicle sector, AMS expanded into the urban sanitation equipment sector, starting, together with some partners, the production of small compactors for the collection and transport of urban waste. Within a few years, AMS developed an internal production line and thus began a long journey towards the creation of its own range of rear-loading compactors.<\/p>\n

In 1993, AMS designed and built a new automatic side-loading compactor, still in production today, which led AMS to become one of the most well-known companies in the waste management equipment sector.<\/p>\n

In the early 2000s, AMS changed its legal status to a joint-stock company (S.p.A.) and at the same time obtained ISO9001 certification.<\/p>\n

To date, AMS has produced and placed on the market thousands of vehicles, including over 2000 side-loading vehicles model CL1, universally recognized as the most reliable on the market.<\/p>\n

The various patents filed over the decades testify to AMS’s vocation for innovation and the development of cutting-edge solutions for waste collection.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Sustainable Technologies

Our goal is to produce efficient, reliable, and economically sustainable vehicles. For this reason, we develop simple and durable engineering solutions capable of achieving maximum performance while reducing costs and consumption, without the need for continuous interventions.<\/p>\n

Waste management requires continuous work cycles with constant performance: therefore, it is essential that the integration between vehicle traction and loading, compaction, and unloading mechanisms is perfect.<\/p>\n

The work cycle must also be carried out with maximum simplicity and safety: easy-to-handle control systems and ergonomically designed structures ensure the necessary safety for operators.<\/p>\n

Respect for the urban context is also fundamental: the physical and noise impact of collection and compaction operations must be reduced to a minimum.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Ecology

We are now fully aware that every action we take, generating visible and invisible waste, produces consequences on the environment around us.<\/p>\n

For AMS, environmental responsibility does not only mean developing increasingly efficient waste management solutions and tools, but also doing so with the lowest possible environmental impact.<\/p>\n

For this reason, our production facilities are increasingly oriented towards maximum environmental sustainability and resource recovery:[\/vc_column_text]
