ACW to open US manufacturing facility
01 February 2010
EMS company ACW Technology is setting-up its first manufacturing facility in the United States.
The company will operate from a 30,000sq. ft. facility in Durham, North Carolina, and expects to open in Q2 2010.
Chris Woods, Executive Chairman and founder of ACW commented, “We’ll announce further details in the coming weeks, but this move is part of ACW’s ongoing growth strategy to serve existing and new customers from a wider global platform. We think there is a great opportunity to take systems and expertise developed in the UK, and combine them with the excellent local labour force in North Carolina, to create a US contract manufacturer that provides exceptional services to its customers. The new factory will complement our three existing facilities in the UK and China, aiming to achieve three goals: providing US companies with ACW’s high quality manufacturing service in the US; offering American companies ACW’s UK capability to service their European customers; and becoming one of the development and service sites for US customers wanting to source reliable, high quality, low cost manufacturing from ACW’s wholly owned China factory. Some of ACW’s UK-based customers that own US companies will also be able to benefit from having their products ‘Made in America’.”
Jeffrey Benes, an experienced figure in the EMS industry, will join ACW as Vice President and General Manager to head-up the new operation.
