The AAE Family Standard

To design and manufacture unique, durable athletic equipment that offers athletes and coaches true performance benefits.

To present options and value that truly helps the customer at a fair price.

Going back to the early days of AAE in 1950, when John Marzucco first realized that he could design a safer, more athlete-friendly hurdle, AAE has been a family - a firm on a unique mission. The original rocker hurdle was just the beginning of a long line of innovations that spans six decades (click on AAE Timeline to see some examples).

Today, John Marzucco’s family carries on that tradition and it permeates to the entire AAE family of nearly 50 employees, many of whom have spent the majority of their careers with the company. There is great pride in this tradition and the relationships that AAE holds with its loyal customer base. There is a constant and strong commitment within AAE to keep challenging itself and improving its products and services. AAE’s vision, as a direct seller and a company committed to unique standards of excellence, makes it a very different kind of company in today’s marketplace.

This AAE difference exists to benefit you. You don’t have to settle for less quality when you’re looking for ways to save. At AAE, you’ll always find products you can trust at prices you can afford.
