Advanced Chemical Etching – March 2022 Roundup

ACE Attending Hydrogen Tech Expo in Telford

Today on March 31st the Advanced Chemical Etching team are exhibiting at the Hydrogen Tech Expo, at the International Centre in Telford.

The event, which takes place just a few miles from ACE’s manufacturing facility, is a much-anticipated opportunity for technology and manufacturing firms to showcase the latest in hydrogen and green technologies developed both in the UK and internationally.

The sales team is exhibiting the latest in chemical and photo etching, where metal components are etched from a sheet using corrosive chemicals in a highly controllable, precise manufacturing process.

Unlike other manufacturing methods like stamping and machining, components produced using Advanced Chemical Etching’s innovative chemical etching method do not have rough edges or burrs that traditionally require additional processes to remove. The resulting components are highly accurate, with tolerances that can be as low as 10% of a human hair. And because no heat is used, the integrity of the material is preserved.

ACE is heavily involved in the emerging EV and fuel cell markets, and has been instrumental in developing the latest and next generations of bi polar plates, heat exchangers, bus bars and other critical components.

Chemical Etching is uniquely suited for applications within EV and hydrogen vehicle development, critically in the development of battery systems, where thinner and lighter components are necessary for increasing the efficiency and range of future vehicles.

ACE’s Teams Benefit From New Recruits

The team at the Telford-based manufacturing team continues to grow with the addition of 10 new employees since January.

The news follows new figures that show the team have smashed their previously published sales record, with growth in line with a previously announced programme of investment and expansion. The most recent outcome of this has been the addition of new capital equipment, dedicated manufacturing cells and the expansion of ACE’s CAD department.

The new team members are being deployed throughout ACE’s departments, with a focus on allowing them to flexibly react to different situations and requirements.

Supporting this is a bespoke training package based on the team’s many years of experience refining the various manufacturing and inspection processes that have made ACE the “go-to” source for precision etched components with low lead times and high levels of flexibility.

This recent expansion to the team will further bolster throughput and maintain ACE’s reputation for reliable, reactive service.
