Company Description: In 1975, Bob Graf founded American Mine Research, Inc. (“AMR”) to support the U.S. coal mining industry’s need for enhanced safety and productivity through the development of the pilotless ground check monitor. Located in Rocky Gap, VA, AMR has since sold over 50,000 circuits of the pilotless monitor throughout the world. Over the past 45+ years, AMR has continued to expand its product and service offerings to serve not only the U.S. coal mining industry, but also the metal/nonmetal mining, tunneling, natural gas, battery energy storage/renewables, water/wastewater, aquaculture and general industries across the globe. Where required, AMR’s monitoring, control and communications electronics are US and internationally approved, and always designed with the mindset of the ground monitor’s original charge: improve our customer’s operational safety, productivity and efficiency.

In November of 2016, AMR acquired the PEMCO Corporation, located in nearby Bluefield, VA. Founded in 1960 and a longtime customer of AMR, PEMCO began by manufacturing DC power supplies, rectifiers, and AC/DC products for the U.S. coal mining industry. PEMCO built a reputation of electrical excellence in the coal industry, and similar to AMR, diversified into the metal/nonmetal mining, oil and gas, utility, power generation, transit, and nuclear industries. Over the years, AMR and PEMCO developed a solid relationship, with AMR supplying its ground monitors, electronic circuit breakers and remote racking systems for use in PEMCO’s mining power centers. Since its inception, PEMCO has and continues to be known for its reliable, robust and custom electrical solutions.

Collectively, AMR PEMCO now offers: ground check/fault monitors, electronic circuit breakers, speed sensors and tip switches, atmospheric (gas) monitoring, wireless communications, personnel/equipment tracking, and collision avoidance systems, power centers, substations, dry-type transformers, industrial control buildings, and power distribution/PLC panels. The combined strength of AMR PEMCO’s management, engineering, and sales teams provide our customers with an unparalleled experience by leveraging AMR’s global sales network and electronics expertise with PEMCO’s extensive electrical knowledge and high quality craftsmanship.

AMR PEMCO has an extensive and established distribution network located throughout the United States. Internationally, our sales team is further augmented by local distributors and agents located in Canada, Mexico, Africa, and South America. AMR PEMCO operates two modern facilities: a 31,000 sq. ft. facility in Rocky Gap, VA, just off I-77, and a 120,000 sq. ft. facility located in Bluefield, VA
