Wider Labor Pool
Operating in more countries simply gives ACS access to more employees. We tap great minds from around the world to help our organization remain on the cutting edge. We have hired experienced and talented local executives to lead each of our global locations and these executives and their respective teams have each brought great insights to ACS, both in terms of best practices for operating in their country of residence, and in terms of overarching manufacturing, management, and product efficiencies.
Greater Innovation
Our global manufacturing base also helps ACS remain innovative. Innovation has always been extremely important at ACS. We have hundreds of historical patents and have disrupted and led several global industries with our cutting-edge metal mesh designs and production methods. The scale and diversity of the ACS workforce helps us to keep up the pace of innovation within our company. Each new perspective, from each new geographical region, each culture, and each position within the organization brings with it a new opportunity to identify opportunities for innovation. ACS strives to give all our employees a voice so that innovation can sprout from anywhere.
Reduced Production Costs
ACS’s global manufacturing base helps us achieve lower productions costs by focusing the bulk of our operating in geographic areas that offer favorable labor or economic conditions and also providing us with substantial economies of scale. Many costs can also be shared between sites, including tooling and machine design. Additionally, production processes and lessons learned can be carried over from one manufacturing location to another, ensuring greater efficiencies for all.
Improved Quality Standards
As a global manufacturer, ACS applies the same strict quality standards across all of our production facilities. Our quality standards take the strictest requirements of each of the countries and regions in which we do business, as well as the demands of our most stringent clients, and apply them to each product universally to ensure impeccable ACS quality no matter where a part is produced.
Improved Adaptability and Resiliency
The first quarter of 2025 has been characterized by a volatile political and economic landscape. In times of uncertainty and instability a global manufacturing network can be even more valuable. If tariffs or trade relations shift across the globe, we can move production to a new location that has a better trade relationship with the end user’s country of residence. ACS can balance strategies of nearshoring for lower shipping costs and potentially lower tariffs, with multinational manufacturing strategies favoring areas with lower cost of production. We can quickly shift production of any of our products to a more favorable location in order to shelter our clients from the negative impact of many socioeconomic developments.
