V.P. Sales and Marketing


American Modular Systems (AMS) is one of the most respected, long-established modular manufacturers in the west. Our new manufacturing and administrative facilities at plant 1 was built in 2002 on 35 acres, with over 200,000 square feet of enclosed buildings for year-round manufacturing capabilities. Throughout our history, AMS has designed and built several thousand modular buildings throughout the West Coast. Our ambitious engineering and construction methods have involved us in construction projects suited for a variety of climates, from the arid California desert to the -60ºF Arctic climate of the Bering Sea in Alaska. In addition, we also attribute our organization’s pride in its adherence to the old-fashioned virtues of integrity, honesty and hard work to the continued success of our company. Today, AMS specializes in manufacturing DSA-approved rigid steel “moment” frame modular school facilities. All of our modular schools meet the approval of the California Division of State Architect. We have several piggy-back contracts available to meet your school district’s immediate class-size reduction program, with a team of experts ready to provide solutions to your class-size reduction needs.
