AE MFG was founded by Ari Emmett, a titanium frame builder who entered the industry in 2007. After refining his craft at DEAN Titanium, he acquired the brand and spent a decade restoring its reputation through grit and precision. He went on to acquire Merlin Metal Works. After the acquisition of Ari's brands, he joined Mosaic Bespoke Bicycles. There he was welding at a rate five bikes a day and perfoming quality control measures. Now in 2025, AE MFG begins a bold new chapter—an independent brand built on experience, craftsmanship, and a passion for frames that perform, inspire, and endure.
