With an emphasis on customer service and support, AmeriLux International seeks to provide its customers with creative, cost-effective solutions to their unique challenges. This solutions-focused mentality has driven facility expansions and key equipment investments, enabling AmeriLux to provide a variety of fabrication services, component assembly, and turn-key manufacturing solutions. Strongly committed to educating the architectural, building, and construction communities on the benefits of using its products, AmeriLux International provides distance learning courses, webinars, and in-person presentations whereby continuing education units can be earned. These online educational programs are free, one-hour-long programs that focus on topics such as energy efficiency, polycarbonate glazing solutions, and sustainable design. This has led to a greater grass roots demand for their products. To reduce lead times and improve on-time delivery with key customers, AmeriLux International started AmeriLux Transportation — a trucking company with its own drivers and equipment — in June 2012.
