We're excited to share an important milestone in Accurate Perforating's story. Accurate Perforating has officially joined Alabama Metal Industries Corporation (AMICO), the industry leader in expanded and industrial metal products across North America.
Founded in Chicago in 1942 by Ralph Cohen, Accurate has spent more than 80 years building a reputation for stellar customer service, pioneering innovation, and collaboration. From our Chicago facility on Kedzie Ave, we deliver perforated metal solutions for high-growth industries, including data centers, HVAC, filtration, power generation, and architectural facades. Joining AMICO allows us to build on that foundation with expanded resources, architectural systems, broader reach, and new opportunities for our customers and team.
AMICO, backed by Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, growing into an industry-leading provider of architectural facade systems, security fencing, and further expanding its industrial business, which includes expanded metal and fiberglass-reinforced plastic. The addition of Accurate super-charges AMICO's perforating line and sheet metal fabrication capabilities while extending its geographic footprint.
"Our team is incredibly proud of the perforating expertise we've built over the past eight decades," said Larry Cohen, Former Chairman of Accurate. "This partnership with AMICO allows Accurate to leverage greater scale and resources while continuing to do what we do best — serve our customers with quality material and care."
For Accurate customers, what matters most remains unchanged. The same experienced teams, the same commitment to quality, and the same collaborative approach are all here to stay. What's new behind the scenes — more knowledge, more investment, and increased support. This enables us to win more complex projects, serve a broader range of markets, and deliver even greater value.
"We're pleased to welcome Accurate into the AMICO family," said Marec Edgar, Chief Executive Officer of AMICO. "Accurate's perforating and fabrication capabilities are highly complementary to our platform, and together we're positioned to deliver bundled, value-added solutions across high-growth end markets."
With this acquisition, AMICO now operates 14 strategically located facilities across the U.S. and Canada, further enhancing its ability to support customers at scale.
For Accurate, this marks the beginning of an exciting next chapter — one that builds on our Chicago manufacturing roots while opening the door to new possibilities. We're proud of where we've come from, grateful to the people who made it possible, and excited about what's ahead.
