AMI Metals, Inc., an advanced specialty materials and components company, has announced that it will double its footprint with a new Spokane Valley location. AMI Metals made the announcement in coordination with the Washington State Department of Commerce.

Bernie Rees, President of AMI Metals, said, “This expansion reflects our strong commitment to the aerospace industry in the Northwest region of the U.S. The Pacific Northwest is a key region for our business, and this investment allows us to scale to meet growing demand from customers in the greater Washington state market and beyond.”

AMI Metals secured a 12.08 acre site in Spokane Valley to develop a new 101,000-square-foot facility. The project’s first phase includes 96,000 square feet dedicated to manufacturing and distribution, along with 5,000 square feet of office space. The new facility will replace AMI’s current 56,000-square-foot leased location and provide capacity for future growth. The increased footprint will allow increasing capacity and hiring more employees locally.

The facility will increase AMI’s capacity to process aluminum plates, which are critical components used throughout the aerospace supply chain.
