AMCA Membership
Although AMCA has members in every global region, they are particularly strong in the US, and any air movement or air control company wishing to establish a permanent presence in the US is advised to join AMCA.
AMCA requires that companies based in the US wishing to become members have a US manufacturing facility owned by the US legal entity. As a part of the membership application process, AMCA staff will visit the US manufacturing facility, verify that the company is a manufacturer and that the company is operating in accordance with industry best-practices.
Geoff Sheard is familiar with the AMCA membership application process, having worked with clients in different global regions with various organizational structures. Hence, AGS is able to manage the process to ensure that it is completed in a timely manner.
