Initially AMS specialised in hand insertion but has since developed a reputation for polywrapping and machine envelope insertion. In 2000 it took on a second site in Needham Market, providing direct mail services to more than 100 businesses.
Clients of the group include Anglia Ruskin University, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, Cambridge University Press, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, HSS Hire Shops, Mid-Suffolk District Council and Transitions Lenses.
