In the heart of Macon, Georgia, American Material Services (AMS) has been a key player in the transportation industry, specializing in serving dry bulk and liquid bulk customers across the eastern and southeastern U.S. Since its inception, AMS has continually evolved, notably expanding its operations in 2000 through the strategic acquisition of Site Services Corp. This move not only reinforced its standing in the dry bulk market but also marked its entry into the liquid bulk transportation sector.
AGI International, Inc. (AGI), headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, was established in 2003 by E. Jerome Agnew. AGI has been a driving force in providing comprehensive services such as domestic and global sourcing, contract manufacturing and assembly, warehousing and distribution, supply chain risk mitigation, material cost improvement, and product development. With a focus on serving U.S.-based companies and key automotive and industrial customers, AGI has become a trusted partner in the industry.
As AGI continues to fortify its commercial division, emphasizing quality services in supply chain management, transportation, and logistics, the company proudly holds certification as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) in Arizona, California, Georgia, Indiana, and Oregon. AGI further distinguishes itself as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (SDVOBE).
The recent acquisition of AMS was successfully orchestrated by Generational Equity, with Executive Managing Director and M&A-Technology Practice Leader David Fergusson leading the way. Managing Director Barry DeWitt, supported by Vice President Emil Nirkis, played a pivotal role in closing the transaction. Senior Managing Director James Carr initiated the relationship with AMS, recognizing the company’s significant expertise in large and small-scale regional projects.
Barry DeWitt shared his insights on the acquisition, stating, “AMS has significant expertise and experience in large-and-small scale regional projects. The Company has built a solid reputation for competitive pricing and on-time delivery for its projects, which is in line with AGI’s core values. This acquisition gives AGI a strong presence in the Georgia and North Florida market.”
With this strategic move, AGI International is poised for further growth and strengthened market influence, expanding its footprint into the dynamic Georgia and North Florida region.
