AMECO opens a new operation and sales office in Fort McMurray, Alberta.

AMECO, a leading provider of integrated equipment and tool products for both government and industry clients, recently opened a new operations and sales office in Fort McMurray, Alberta, as part of its continuing expansion in Canada. The full-service facility provides tool and equipment sales and rentals, parts and service, and supplies for major capital construction projects.

The new office is intended to enable AMECO to better service crude oil producers, contractors and other customers in northern Alberta's oil sands region, including Athabasca, Peace River and Cold Lake. According to the Athabasca Regional Issues Working Group, the oil sands represent one of the largest known sources of recoverable oil reserves in the world. Twenty-eight petroleum companies and developers are currently engaged in, or have proposed, more than 80 projects in these areas.

"Our Fort McMurray office puts AMECO expertise at the doorsteps of our existing and targeted customers in northern Alberta," says Tom Jones, vice president of North America & Caribbean Operations for AMECO. "By leveraging our global network of fleet managers, equipment suppliers and project execution specialists, customers can optimize and consolidate several important project support activities under a single provider."

AMECO, which has been manufacturing fully integrated equipment and tool products for nearly 60 years, is focused on two primary businesses, Fleet Outsourcing (SM) and Site Services (SM). The Fleet Outsourcing business assists clients in the government and industrial markets, including heavy industrial, power and manufacturing facilities, with complete management and maintenance of fleet, tool and asset management functions. The Site Services business provides a complete service package consisting of equipment, tool and construction indirects to capital construction projects.
