Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP)

Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) EQUIPMENT TRIANGLE
AEMP created the term “Equipment Triangle”. AEMP advances this philosophy through its education and certification programs.

Formed in 1980, the Association of Equipment Management Professionals represents fleet professionals working in construction, government, utilities, energy, mining and more. It is the cornerstone of the association’s philosophy that a balanced relationship must exist between the End User, Distributor, and OEM/Supplier in the life cycle of a piece of heavy equipment or product.
