to compress raw material lead times and boost operational excellence. We’ re also about to kick off a pilot program where we will introduce AI and sensors specifically for the manufacture of a customer’ s product, enabling them to see end-to-end data on the production of their product in one of our facilities.”
Driving organic growth is a top priority for AMFT this year, through disciplined execution and targeting high-margin segments. Operationally, it is focused on employee safety and culture, expanding capacity, standardizing site-level performance management and continuing to invest in cybersecurity and compliance.“ Looking beyond 2026, we’ ll be a partner of choice for our largest global customers, serving them at a local and regional level which will result in trust of engineering depth, continuity and speed,” concludes Todd.“ We’ ll also be partnering on next-gen transportation with our customers, whether that’ s hybrid programs or battery operated, and we’ ll continue to modernize our manufacturing scale and digital operations. Overall, we’ re continuing to build a company that wins complex multi-site programs and delivers for the customer every time, wherever that’ s needed across the globe.
“ For me, AMFT is the evolution of a great legacy; we’ re not trying to rewrite history, but instead we’ re writing our next chapter and being reimagined for what our customers need now and in the future. We’ re intently focused on unifying engineering talent across continents, elevating quality and compliance, and investing where it moves the needle for reliability, speed and total cost. This year is about execution, and that will set the foundation for long-term durable growth and partnership for our customers.” ■
