  • Amuneal Installs World’s Largest Magnetic Shield

    On November 4, 2009, Amuneal presented a poster at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory celebrating construction completion on beam line 15 of the Neutron Spin Echo Spectrometer.

    Amuneal Manufacturing recently completed installation and testing of the world’s largest known mumetal magnetically shielded enclosure for the spectrometer as part of a 38-month long project. Completed on schedule, the 61’ long, 16’ wide and 14’ high dual layer enclosure was fabricated and installed by Amuneal in the $1.4 billion Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

  • Amuneal’s "Mad Scientist" chosen for Project M

    With the goal of inspiring young designers to make a contribution that can have a positive and significant impact on the world, each year Project M invites designers from varied backgrounds to apply for 10 available positions.

    We are very proud to announce that one of Amuneal’s team was chosen to participate in this multidisciplinary design project. Justin Kumpf, a fabricator with a background in industrial design and a passion for discovery, spent two weeks collaborating on a project at Winterhouse that resulted in a project that influenced the local farming community. Culminating with Pizza Farm, an event that recognized the rich local tradition and resources of agricultural products, the design team helped to educate the community and cross-pollinate ideas and commercial awareness for the surrounding agricultural entrepreneurs.

    To help inform us of his project and the impact that it has been making, Justin sponsored a Pizza Farm at Amuneal. Tapping into our group of inspired gardeners, employees were encouraged to bring in their fresh ingredients and share them in an afternoon of cooking and communal dining.

  • Amuneal Designs Award Winning Booth for Natural Curiosities

    In our first collaboration with California-based Natural Curiosities, Amuneal designed and fabricated an installation to support their participation in the NY Gift Show. The installation, designed and constructed in a two week period, measured 10’ tall x 20’ x 22’.

    Designed as a dramatic and intriguing backdrop for Natural Curiosities’ latest introduction of artwork, the installation was a perfect complement to the dynamic images and objects showcased in New York. The impact of the overall integration of the booth and the products earned the installation “Best Booth” honors.

  • Amuneal is Named to the Inner City 100 List for Second Straight Year

    From a list of over 6500 nominations, Amuneal was named #51 of the 100 fastest growing inner city businesses. The selection and ranking is performed by the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) and Inc. Magazine to promote the importance and the vitality of business choosing to work and grow in urban environments.

    “We are delighted to celebrate businesses like Amuneal that are playing a critical role in urban communities throughout the country,” said David G. Latimore, president and chief executive officer of the ICIC. “These high-growth businesses help to create jobs, income, and wealth for local residents, and they prove our belief that the most effective way to create economic equality in America’s inner cities is to focus on sustainable business growth and investment.”

  • Amuneal Organizes and Leads Local Community Clean-up

    Located in one of Philadelphia’s oldest industrial and residential areas, Amuneal has become increasingly aware of our role as a responsible neighbor. To help support our local community and to improve the conditions of the neighborhood for our fellow “residents,” we worked with the city and local community action groups to sponsor and lead a local clean-up effort.

    Nearly 100 Amuneal participants made up of our employees and their families showed up “ready for work” on this cold Saturday morning. Armed with brooms, shovels, and rakes and bags, we worked side-by-side with our neighbors and other local volunteers to clean and groom more than eight square blocks surrounding Amuneal’s three facilities.

    The activities concluded with an open celebration and barbeque catered by Amuneal’s resident chefs.

  • Amuneal Receives "Best Booth" honors for second straight year

    Each year we look forward to designing and fabricating an original installation to support our tradeshow participation. This year our talented team of artists, designers and fabricators worked around the clock to transform ½ mile of aluminum tubing, 1800 laser cut dragonflies, and 600 welded moths into a 14’ tall x 20’ x 30’ installation.

    After working for 5 straight days to create the booth, we were extremely proud to be honored with the award for “Best Booth” at Globalshop 2009, for the second year in a row!
