About Ames True Temper Company

Company Profile 

The AMES story started in 1774 when Captain John Ames began to produce the country's first shovels. Since then, the company has helped build America despite war, peace, economic booms, and busts. Along the way, AMES has also experienced its fair share of adventure—it has gone on trips to Antarctica, dug for gold, and constructed at least two of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. And much like America, the company continues to work hard to create the next world wonder.
