AIM Market Research was established in 1988 as an industrial market research firm initially focused on North American steel and metals. As the company evolved, we diversified into other industrial market segments, such as glass, lime and cement. AIM has completed over 600 market studies and prospect development survey projects. As a byproduct of our market research work, particularly regarding our focus on the steel industry, AIM began publishing industrial plant location maps. Although we are no longer doing the kind of in depth market research projects that we did for more than 30 years, we are continuing to update and publish some of our industrial plant location maps. In particular, we have been updating our feature map of Steel Plants of North America.
