Based in Springfield since 1941, AEC is one of the oldest fire equipment companies in Illinois.

For generations, we have earned a reputation for providing professional customer service and the highest quality products. AEC is a small, family-minded business. Three generations of the Archer family have worked for the company, infusing our industry knowledge and family pride into the business.
