About AmWest Energy
AmWest Energy is a U.S.-based energy and materials platform focused on building and operating real, durable assets in critical sectors of the economy. The company’s strategy is centered on domestic supply, long-term contracts, and disciplined capital deployment in projects that support infrastructure, industrial growth, and energy development.
Our Story
AmWest began by supporting and investing in coal mining operations in key U.S. basins, supplying metallurgical and thermal coal to industrial, utility, and export customers. The platform then expanded into cement and building materials, recognizing the structural need for reliable, U.S.-based production as infrastructure and energy projects scale.
What We Do
Coal Division: Responsible extraction, safety, and efficient logistics for metallurgical and thermal coal.
Cement Division: Greenfield cement and raw material development anchored on high-quality reserves and rail-ready industrial sites.
Infrastructure Alignment: Supporting large-scale industrial and energy projects through long-term supply solutions.
Markets We Serve

Our Vision
