ACS UK is a full-service manufacturing company, excelling in the manufacture of complex composite exterior and interior components, moldings, sandwich, flat panels and laminates, for a multitude of industries such as aerospace, rail, marine and automotive, and their varied and specific applications.
With a full order book in June 2022, ACS UK took a strategic decision at that time to reduce its offerings to new business in order to focus upon the delivery of the programs acquired from AIM Altitude Ltd. With these products successfully delivered and customer confidence fully maintained, ACS UK is now open and ready for new business.
“We have been quietly but busily working in the background to safeguard future product offerings, and several key programs are already underway,” says Nigel McSorely, CEO of ACS UK. “Our ethos and focus on customer satisfaction and the delivery of high-quality equipment using highly skilled people continues. We have seen exceptional on-time delivery performance of products to Airbus and Boeing over the past few years. We are very proud of this achievement.”
ACS UK has been working on large orders of front row monuments, galleys and social zones for pre-existing customers. Now that many of these have been delivered, ACS UK is able to offer vital and additional capacity to the market.
“The advantage ACS UK has is that we are new but not new,” McSorely says. “We have the facilities and capacity of a new company, with the experience and expertise of an industry stalwart. ACS UK has a great depth of knowledge and skill but also the ability to grow and take on significant new contracts.”
ACS UK has been achieving this success from its new engineering facility in Bournemouth, U.K., and through its design base in New Zealand, and manufacturing bases in Cambridge, U.K. and China.
Front row monuments, feature panels and bespoke social areas are particular specialties of ACS UK. The company is well known for its innovative design, meticulous engineering and specialist manufacturing processes, bringing vital differentiation to its airline customers.
