Scott Stolberg, president and CEO of
AAEQ Manufacturers and Recyclers has announced that the
company has changed its corporate name to A&A Midwest®
effective January 1, 2012. The company's cores, recycling
and auto wrecking divisions will utilize the new corporate
name and be respectively known as A&A Midwest Cores, A&A
Midwest Recycling and A&A Midwest Auto Wrecking. The
company's two divisions for engine parts and transmission
parts will continue as
EngineQuest (EQ) and TransmissionQuest
(TQ).
"My father and uncle started the company in 1949 as A&A
Midwest, signifyingtheir two first names, Aaron and Alex,
and Midwest identified their location in Chicago," explained
Stolberg. "As the business grew and diversified, we changed
our corporate name to AAEQ but kept A&A Midwest for our
cores business. A lot of customers were confused by our
different names and didn't know what to call us. We believe
our new structure and corporate name is a better way to
organize our business and returns us to our historic roots
while identifying our five distinct divisions."
A&A Midwest is the company's corporate name and will utilize
the website address www.aamidwest.com. The company's five
distinct divisions and website addresses are:
Cores

Stolberg says there is no change in the company's ownership
or corporate structure and that A&A Midwest will unveil new
marketing materials over the next month during the launch of
its new branding initiative. A&A Midwest continues to be
family owned and operated from its locations in Chicago and
