ADVANCED EQUIPMENT, INC.
TAMPA, FLORIDA

Advanced Equipment Corporation, established in Bellevue, Washington in 1957, is a renowned Designer, Manufacturer, and Installer of Operable Walls. Incorporated in the State of Washington in 1958, it has evolved into a leading provider in its industry, now based in Tampa, Florida. The company's initial product offerings included manual and electric operable walls made with stressed-skin laminated wood and interior materials like resin-impregnated honeycomb, fiberglass, and steel sheet sound barriers. Advanced Equipment expanded its influence during the 1960s and 70s into diverse markets such as hospitality and convention centers, leading to innovations like the Advanced Alpha® series featuring all-welded, all-steel construction. This innovation earned a Ten-Year Limited Warranty for several track systems. In 1981, the introduction of Supertrack® further enhanced their product offerings with its durable design suitable for panels exceeding 40 feet in height. Throughout the 80s, Advanced Equipment introduced additional groundbreaking products such as the VISION® system for computer-controlled rear projection screen shields and curved, welded steel operable walls. This period was also marked by an increased focus on Field Sound Testing to ensure superior noise control standards. In recent years, the company has leveraged advanced physical testing to certify their operable walls' resistance to earthquake-generated forces—an essential factor for global safety concerns addressed by architects and engineers. With a dedicated team of 100 professionals employing cutting-edge electronic technology, Advanced Equipment offers tailored design advice, enhancing both product design and customer satisfaction. Headquartered at 3650 W Spruce St, Tampa, FL, the company maintains an active online presence through its website, advancedequipment.com. The current leadership under Officers and Directors like Marilyn G. Polk, Gregg W. Polk, and Tony Polk upholds a steadfast commitment to delivering superior operable walls that amplify clients' achievements in various architectural settings.
