Founded in 1983 by Steve Petronis and Dick Carusone, Advanced Manufacturing Techniques Inc. grew from a small manual machine shop into a Clifton Park operation specializing in close-tolerance machining, with Wire EDM at the center of its work. Now run by Steve’s son Mark, the company operates from a 10,000-square-foot facility and is particularly known for machining difficult super alloys and producing precision medical-imaging parts. AMT also makes the Structural Stress Analyzer 1000, an educational testing machine with more than 3,000 units sold.
