About Us

Bruce Yeager was the founder of Allegheny Machine Tool Systems Inc. Sadly, Bruce passed away at the age of 71, leaving behind a profound impact on the industry and the people he worked with.  Bruce was more than an owner, he was a man of integrity, wisdom, and strength. His commitment, loyalty, and love of family and friends reached all areas of his life – especially his business.

Bruce started his machine tool career as a salesman with The Stanley Berg Co. in Pittsburgh in the late ’60s. Bruce left Stanley Berg and joined Meritt Machinery Sales. He then moved on to DSM Machinery in Pittsburgh in the early ’70s as a salesman and advanced to VP of sales. When DSM was purchased by Gosiger, Bruce decided it was time to start his own distributorship. Bruce left DSM and in 1992 started Allegheny Machinery. A celebration was held in 2012 recognizing Allegheny Machine Tool Systems’ 20th Anniversary. 

During his machine tool career, Bruce was very active in AMTDA, where he served as President of the local Pittsburgh chapter, volunteered his time on several committees and was a member of the Board of Directors prior to the AMT merger. At AMT, he was an integral member of the newly established Distribution Working Group (DWG). Bruce and his wife Nola were regular attendees of our Annual Meeting.

Bruce was a longtime Elder at Center Presbyterian Church and proudly served in the U.S. Army. His legacy will live on with Dan Ambrogi and his entire Allegheny Family, as they continue to provide the support, service, and accessibility that everyone who has worked with Allegheny Machine Tool Systems has come to expect.

Never afraid to advance the cause, Bruce was one of our industry’s biggest advocates. His passion was obvious and he will be remembered for his unwavering commitment to excellence, his entrepreneurial spirit, and his vision for a better future.
