The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has presented Statistics Outstanding Merit Awards to 29 companies for their superior participation in AEM data reporting programs.

“Our statistics programs are member-driven, and we applaud the dedication of our award winners. They help ensure AEM delivers optimum value with consistent, accurate, and reliable market data that members can use for improved business forecasting and production planning,” said AEM Director of Statistics Rex Sprietsma.
