U.S./Canada Made
Equipment manufactured or substantially produced in the United States or Canada, with documented installation, warranty, parts and service.
About AED
Amusement Equipment Directory helps project developers distinguish U.S. and Canadian manufacturers and support organizations from import-only distribution—before a project commitment is made.
Why AED was rebuilt
Amusement projects carry substantial financial, safety and operating responsibilities. A low initial price does not reveal where equipment was produced, who will install it or whether parts, warranty assistance and technical support will remain available after the sale.
AED brings those distinctions forward. Our priority is helping project developers identify accountable U.S. and Canadian companies while still representing established North American businesses that responsibly support imported products.
The AED standard
Classification is separate from paid listing level. A company cannot purchase preferred manufacturing status.
Equipment manufactured or substantially produced in the United States or Canada, with documented installation, warranty, parts and service.
Products manufactured elsewhere—including Mexico—backed by a genuine U.S. or Canadian office, warehouse, operating team and documented support.
Imported or resold equipment from an established U.S. or Canadian business, with product origin and available service clearly declared.
Suppliers submit manufacturing-origin, North American presence, installation, warranty and support declarations. AED may request clarification or evidence before assigning a public marker.
What guides the directory
Search begins with the equipment, attraction or service a project needs—not with whichever company bought the largest ad.
Developers deserve a practical distinction between locally made, locally supported and imported products.
Installation, parts, warranty and service capabilities matter long after the equipment quotation is accepted.
Suppliers manage their information, declare their operating model and remain responsible for the claims they publish.
An established industry name
AED first served the amusement industry in the early 2000s, connecting developers with manufacturers, distributors and specialists. The rebuilt directory carries that history forward with modern search, supplier-managed profiles, administrative review and clearer information about product origin and support.
AED is operated by FEC Network, Inc. and is independent of Amusement Expo International and other similarly named events or associations.
