Who We Are AIS is a team of industrial executives who have come to realize that most M&A advisory firms are unable to provide hands-on improvement to their clients to improve profitability and maximize enterprise value in a sale. We’ve also come to know that small business are the lifeblood of innovation in the U.S., and helping those in manufacturing find investors that appreciate what those businesses can become gives us a tremendous sense of satisfaction. We mean what we say – we want to help.
