Driving Innovation in Precision Engineering

Our proactive management team encourage a culture of continuous improvement right across the business, and investment has flowed into implementing a best-in-class precision etching facility.

Responsive, Agile & Innovative

This makes us responsive to fluctuating demand, agile enough to take on new product introductions and innovative in our ability to deliver engineering solutions to complex problems.

Unrivalled Quality

All of this is done against a firm commitment to unrivalled quality, demanding tolerances and cost reductions for our wide and varied customer base.

ACE’s Precision Etching Is The Pinnacle In Precision Engineering

A Better Alternative

Precision photo etching is a good alternative to stamping, punching, laser and waterjet cutting.

Tolerances ±0.025mm

Using tightly controlled chemistries, complex profile metal parts can be etched with features smaller than a human hair, with tolerances to ±0.025mm.

No Burrs Or Stress

Because the photo etching of precision, micro-sized parts does not create burrs, stress or distortion.

A Variety Of Metals

Producing parts in a wide range of metals. ACE offers stainless steel etching, aluminium etching, titanium etching, copper etching, etching of nickel alloys and a wide range of advanced alloys.

Zero Imperfections

The photo etching process is ideal for safety-critical parts and camera parts all having zero surface imperfections.
