Mission

To promote and further the interests of the members of the Underground Equipment Manufacturers Committee on issues related to safety, standards and regulations, education, public policy and enhancement of the industry’s stature.

History

Established in 2005 as a consolidation of four existing AEM product groups: the Trencher Equipment Council, Trenchless Equipment Council, Underground Electronics Committee, and Vacuum Excavation Equipment Manufacturers Council. The new group was established to provide a single venue for comprehensive discussion of common issues, and to reduce the time and resources members invest in participating in multiple meetings. The previously existing groups became standing committees of the Council.
