OUR STORY
In 1970, Engineered Maintenance Services was formed from the maintenance department of the Olin Mathieson DDT plant on Redstone Arsenal after the plant was closed. Founded by Tom Trapane, the company started out as a contractor for NASA, US Army, & various commercial & industrial clients. Engineered Maintenance Services soon divided into three distinct departments: Construction, Painting/Sandblasting, and Service.
In 1993, Jimmy Trapane became the President when his dad Tom retired.
In 2000, as a new century arrived the decision was made to narrow down the businesses focus. They transitioned to focus on the sales and service of air compressors, pressure washers, pneumatic nailers, hydraulic equipment, and sandblasting supplies.
In 2002, Tom’s grandson, Josh Sampieri, joined the team as a sales representative. Josh and the team continued to evolve over the next 20+ years. The product assortment and business model began to shift due to the boom in construction in the North Alabama area. The commitment to building long-lasting client relationships translated into a desire to help clients find more of what they needed under one roof. The sales of equipment and pneumatic nailers lead to the addition of power tools, accessories, and fasteners. By listening to their customers and striving to meet their needs, EMS evolved into the business it is today.
In 2024, Engineered Maintenance Services began a new chapter. Jimmy Trapane decided it was time to hand over the reins after 30+ years as President. After having served a variety of other roles in the business in his 22+ years with the company and having built an extraordinarily loyal customer base, Josh Sampieri was elected President.
In 2025, we invite you to help us write the next chapter of our story.
