Founded in August 2002 after buying the ATELIERS MÉCANIQUES DU VELAY (A.M.V.) by the DIAM GROUP, AMVDIAM is the French leader in the market for sawing metals. Specialised in saw blades and cutting tools for industries, the company has 40 years of experience and a widely recognised know-how. Located at Yssingeaux in the Haute-Loire department (43), France, AMVDIAM is today committed to continuous research based on innovation and Research and Development.

AMV offers a complete range of products, consisting mainly of HSS circular sawblades, segmental circular sawblades or carbide tipped circular sawblades, industrial knives and bandsaw blades, etc.

Last French manufacturer on a largely competitive world market, AMVDIAM draws its strength from a developed marketing and maintenance network.

In France, AMV products are marketed by five technical salesmen distributed over the whole of the territory. Supported by the heads of the specialised product departments (circular sawblades, industrial knives, bandsaw blades), they provide technical support and specialised advice around AMV cutting products to French manufacturers. They also provide an after-sales service for cutting tools through a network of service centres dedicated to the maintenance and repair of the marketed cutting tools. The French territory is covered by a regular blade collection and delivery service converging on the service centres at Maxeville (54), Nantes (44), Drancy (93) and Le Chambon-Feugerolles (42).

Internationally, the distribution of AMV cutting tools is ensured by an export network.
Nevertheless, in order to best meet the requirements and expectations of its clients, wherever they are, in June 2003 the DIAM GROUP founded a distribution subsidiary in the United States named AMVINTERNATIONAL.
Based close to Chicago (Illinois), the American subsidiary is responsible for marketing the AMV products over the whole American territory and, more widely, on the NAFTA markets. In the same way as for the French service centres, AMVINTERNATIONAL also ensures the after-sales service of the blades by maintenance and repair of the marketed cutting tools (sharpening, etc.).
