Michael Green – The President and C.E.O. of A.W.T. World Trade Group (which is comprised of A.W.T. World Trade, Inc., American M&M Screen Printing Equipment Co., and Graphic Parts International, Inc.) of Chicago, Illinois.
Green recently gave the following statement about the company…
A.W.T. World Trade, Inc.’s primary mission has always been to provide the screen printer with the most extensive line of high quality screen printing equipment and supplies. The recent consolidation of the A.W.T. and American M&M product lines enables us to further that mission, and enhance our current products with additional, technologically advanced equipment.
The A.W.T. World Trade Group has been formed to facilitate the seamless cohesion of all three individual companies, processes, systems and facilities,” said Green, “and to help our customers and the entire screen print industry better understand the relationship and purpose of A.W.T. World Trade, Inc., American M&M, and Graphic Parts International.”
A.W.T. World Trade
A.W.T.’s roots can be traced back to American Screen Printing Equipment Co., founded in 1949 by Sheldon and Melvin Green, father and uncle, respectively, of A.W.T. president Michael Green, who also became part owner of the company. American soon became the major industry leader as it grew into the largest screen printing equipment and supply manufacturer in the world. American revolutionized textile screen printing with the Rototex, Arrow Multiprinter, Centurion presses and Texair dryers. The graphics sector of screen printing experienced a giant leap in print quality with such heavy duty, high quality, and reliable presses like the Cameo, Daytona, Hercules, and Viking. American M&M resulted when American Screen Printing Equipment Company merged with M&M Research in 1993.
The A.W.T. World Trade Group has a worldwide network of dealers and distributors. Additional sales and distribution offices are in Miami, Fla., serving the Central and South American countries; and in Holland, Netherlands, serving the European market. The A.W.T. Group has recently opened a new sales office in Oshkosh, Wisc. Their corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Chicago, Illinois.
