AIE’s main thrust traditionally has been mechanical and electromechanical components.  In recent years, electronic products have been added.  Lines we favor are niche-oriented, design-in products.

We are strongest when providing Application Specific Solutions to our customers.  We spend the bulk of our time working with engineering at our OEM customers, providing custom solutions, or modified standard products, from our various lines.  Target account strategies are employed for key accounts.  Sales leads from factories are very important to our sales efforts.

Our customers respond enthusiastically to suppliers who continue to be innovative in product offerings and customer service.  Each year, a significant portion of our overall sales is due to new products or services offered by our principals.  The timeliness of our responses and our principal’s responses to customer needs continues to rate as the top reason for our success in our market.

We are very familiar with the distributor channel to market.  We devote time to those companies whose products sell primarily or partially through distribution.
