Standing alongside those who do the real work
A point of reference for businesses, tradespeople and professionals: certified equipment, direct technical advice and a warehouse of over 4,000 m² in Calderara di Reno. Founded in 1978 · Bologna, Emilia-Romagna · Customers across Europe.
A company born in the field, grown together with professionals
A.M.E.S. Srl was founded in Calderara di Reno with a clear goal: to bring quality professional equipment directly to the people who use it every day at work. Over more than 48 years we have supported thousands of businesses, building relationships based on technical expertise, honesty and genuine availability.
We are not just a reseller: we look at each situation, recommend the most suitable solution and stay close to the customer after the sale with support and maintenance. We know the construction site because we have worked on it ourselves for decades.
We serve customers across Europe and parts of Africa, with fast deliveries backed by well-organised logistics and direct relationships with the best manufacturers in the sector.

What has made us recognisable
Five ways of working that customers have always recognised in us.
Direct supplier selection
Every product is field-tested before it enters our catalogue.
Continuous update
On regulations, new technologies and innovative solutions for construction and industry.
Site surveys and consultations
We analyse the operating context and propose only what is genuinely needed.
Scheduled after-sales visits
Maintenance and repairs to keep machine downtime to a minimum.
A dedicated contact for every customer
No call centre — a direct reply from someone who understands your business.
Who chooses us
We work with people who need precise answers, reliable products and someone who actually knows what they are talking about. We do not sell to everyone — we sell well to those who choose with a clear head.
- Building and road contractors
- Tradespeople and installers
- Design practices
- Architects and designers
- Safety officers
- Industrial companies
- Advanced hobbyists
- Public bodies
We do not try to sell the most expensive product. We try to sell the right one — and that often means telling the customer that they already have what they need, or that there is a better alternative at half the price.
Our values
Technical expertise
We know every product we sell because we chose it, tested it and compared it with others. Our technicians keep their knowledge constantly up to date, so they can give you real, practical advice — not generic answers from a catalogue.
Direct relationship
With AMES you always speak to the same person, who knows your history and your needs. No call centre, no tickets: simple communication, reliable timescales.
Guaranteed quality
We work only with certified brands — Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Kärcher and Nilfisk among others — and we do not add a product to our catalogue until we are one hundred per cent sure of it.
