Introducing the AME Intl. Gazette

A Nostalgic Nod to the Past

At AME International, we always strive to do things a little differently. In an era where everything is digital, we’re proud to introduce something that harks back to a simpler time: the AME Intl. Gazette – a 1920s-style newspaper printed on authentic newsprint paper. Yes, you read that right, real, tangible paper. When you order from AME International, be sure to keep an eye out for the packing slip envelope, because tucked inside is your very own copy of our Gazette, ready to be unfolded, enjoyed, and even passed around the office.

This newspaper is our way of connecting with you in a more personal, hands-on manner. The Gazette is a tribute to the roaring ’20s, with its bold headlines, playful articles, and timeless charm. It’s packed with content designed to keep you informed about the tire service industry, while giving you something fun to read during your break or while you’re enjoying that second cup of coffee.

The Fall 2024 edition is our inaugural issue, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

What you’ll find inside the gazette

We’ve filled this edition with articles, tips, and insights that span a wide range of topics – from the latest innovations in the tire service industry to a lighthearted look at the everyday challenges faced by service technicians. Don’t miss the Tire Tech advice column!

why a 1920-style newspaper?

You might be wondering, “Why go retro?” In a world where most communication happens digitally, we wanted to do something different – something that people could actually hold in their hands. The tactile experience of flipping through a newspaper, feeling the texture of the newsprint, and maybe even catching a faint whiff of ink – it all adds to the charm.

Plus, the 1920s were a time of innovation, growth, and community – values that we at AME International hold dear. The Gazette is a nod to that spirit, and we hope it brings a bit of nostalgia and joy to your day. There’s something about the vintage style, with its bold fonts, eye-catching headlines, and sepia-toned ads, that brings a smile to your face. And honestly, who doesn’t love a good, old-fashioned newspaper?

It’s Not Just for Show – There’s Real Value Here

While we’ve definitely leaned into the vintage aesthetic, make no mistake – the content of the Gazette is as relevant as ever. Each edition is packed with useful information that can help you stay ahead in the tire service industry. From best practices and safety tips to product spotlights and company news, the Gazette is more than just a throwback – it’s a resource.

But we also want it to be a conversation starter. We want you to read it, enjoy it, and share it with your colleagues. We want it to spark discussions about the industry, your favorite tools, or even ideas for future articles. Speaking of which…

Got Ideas? We Want to Hear Them!

We’re already hard at work on the Winter 2024 edition, but we want to make sure the Gazette reflects what’s important to you, our readers. Have an idea for an article? Want to see a certain topic covered in more depth? Or maybe you’ve got a funny or memorable story from your time in the shop that you’d like to share with our community?

We’re all ears!

The Winter edition will cover December 2024 through February 2025, and we’d love to include your suggestions. Whether it’s a technical deep dive, a shout-out to a standout employee, or a behind-the-scenes look at your favorite AME tools in action, we want to make the Gazette a collaborative project. You can leave your comments and ideas below, or send them directly to our team via socials@ameintl.net .

How to Get Your Hands on the Gazette

The AME Intl. Gazette is included with every order we ship – as long as the box is big enough to fit it! When your package arrives, simply check the packing slip envelope, and you’ll find the Gazette waiting for you.

However, if you haven’t placed an order recently but still want to get your hands on a copy, don’t worry! We’re bringing the Gazette on the road to several events. First up is the Safety Summit this week, followed by Volvo, and then later we’ll be at MineExpo and SEMA. So, if you’re attending, stop by and grab a copy.

Additionally, for those who appreciate a good throwback but also enjoy the convenience of digital, we’ve got you covered. The Fall 2024 edition is available online as well. You can easily access it here.

Let’s Keep the Conversation Going

We’re incredibly proud of this first issue, and we truly hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it. But, remember, the Gazette isn’t just for us – it’s for you, the tire service professionals who work hard every day to keep the world moving. Your feedback and ideas are what will help make future issues even better.

So, take some time to dive into the Fall edition, enjoy the articles, and let us know what you think. And don’t forget to send in your ideas for the Winter 2024 edition! Together, we can make the next issue even more special.
