A&M History: Between 1980 and 1983, Steven Beck was a computer software specialist with Burroughs Corporation. Coming from the support and installation side of manufacturing software and a member of APICS (American Productions and Inventory Control Society), Beck was given a chance to move into sales in the second hand machine tools business.

During the following 6 1/2 years, Steve was associated with a large used machinery dealership in California. As the economy emerged from recession, this association offered tremendous prospects.

CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machinery was in its infancy. With Steve's background in the computer field, two opportunities were identified. The CNC turning machine was becoming both affordable and easily operated, and the production levels of cam operated screw machines were in growing demand. He concentrated on single and multiple spindle screw machines and the new field of CNC Swiss-type (sliding headstock) automatic lathes.

Over the years the sales staff has grown to include other machine specialties including CNC Turning, CNC Vertical and Horizontal Machining, Bar Feeding equipment and other types of machine tools.

A&M is currently located in Longmont Colorado with a 15,000 square foot, temperature controlled warehouse.
