Trusted by Our Customers
We are proud to support organisations across the defence, aerospace and aviation sectors. The feedback below reflects our commitment to delivering practical solutions, technical excellence and lasting customer relationships.
It has been my absolute pleasure to work with yourself and the team at AMCE.
The engineering team at MRHPO and myself certainly hold AMCE in very high regard. Please receive my personal and sincere thanks for the high degree of cooperation and collaboration you have demonstrated. Your patience and calm understanding of difficulties associated with releasing MRH90 and EO technical data has been much appreciated, as well as your professional and rapid response to design changes along the way.
Your tendered conceptual design was spot on, and thank you for allowing us to include the heliraft cradle with a minimum of fuss. We at MRHPO remain very impressed with the final design, as do maintainers and aircrewman at Nowra. It is a highly functional and safe piece of role equipment that will no doubt be used extensively throughout the aircraft life of type. In addition to the innovative design, the quality of documentation deliverables has been second to none. In particular, the highly detailed and well explained Structural Analysis Report is a standout.
AMCE presents itself as a dynamic, dedicated and innovative engineering practice with a highly skilled and balanced team of professional engineers and specialist technical officers equipped to deliver engineering and technical support to the unique needs of the ADF. AMCE integrated smoothly into the ALSPO business environment and contributed significantly to the productivity of the Defence organisation and was able to interact most effectively with ALSPO staff at the customer interface.
I would recommend, without reservation, AMCE as a key member of a broader Defence Industry alliance that shares similar values of professionalism, integrity, technical competence and customer engagement. Given AMCE's significant involvement and experience with ALSPO, its weapon systems and engineering management framework, I am absolutely certain that it has the capability to achieve AEO status in minimum time.
