In 1936, Peter Black founded a modest scrap metal recycling business on Notre Dame Street in Montreal East, instilling a strong work ethic, family values, and commitment to excellence that would become the foundation of AIM's remarkable growth. What began as a local operation has evolved over nearly nine decades into a global powerhouse of innovation in electronic assembly materials, driven by relentless passion and an unwavering dedication to customer success. Today, AIM Solder stands as a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials, with manufacturing, distribution, and support facilities strategically located throughout North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Under the leadership of the Black family across generations, AIM has expanded from its recycling roots to become a trusted partner for the electronics industry, serving diverse sectors including LED lighting, mobile devices, automotive, renewable energy, military, and aerospace applications. The company's comprehensive product portfolio encompasses solder paste, liquid and paste flux, cored and solid wire solder, bar solder, adhesives, underfills, and specialty alloys such as pure indium, indium alloys, and gold-tin. Beyond manufacturing, AIM distinguishes itself through exceptional service and support, offering 24/7 technical assistance, applications laboratories that replicate unique production conditions, solder analysis services, stencil design support, and comprehensive technical training programs.
